Hit-and run case: Bombay HC adjourns hearing on Salman's appeal against conviction to July 1

Khan had earlier got a respite in the hit-and- run case after the Bombay High Court stayed his five-year conviction

The Bombay High Court on Monday adjourned the hearing on actor Salman Khan's appeal against conviction in the 2002 hit-and-run case to July 1.

Khan, who got a respite in the hit-and- run case after the Bombay High Court stayed his five-year conviction, was earlier directed to submit Rs 2 lakh as cash security before leaving the country for a show.

A criminal court had earlier convicted Salman of culpable homicide on charges that he lost control of his car when driving under the influence of alcohol in 2002 and rammed into a group of people sleeping on a pavement.

Khan denies being behind the wheel, contradicting the testimony of several witnesses.

The actor's driver had in March said that he was driving the vehicle during the accident.
