We all know that Salman Khan rocked the show on
Wednesday, He was everywhere on the news channels and social media. The case
goes back to 2002-hit and run case where Khan under the influence of alcohol had
killed one person sleeping on the footpath of Bandra in Mumbai suburban.
Salman Khan is on bail from almost 14-years after
the hearing in secession court is been ruling in his favour. It was on today,
when the final verdict on hit and run case was to be given and Khan with his
family members was present in the court. The secession court sentenced Khan
with 5-years of imprisonment under various sections the law.
Maybe it was possible that Khan’s defence team was
ready for the worst to be coming their way with the verdict of secession court
and therefore immediately after an hour filed a bail appeal in the Bombay High
Court for Khan. The HC further around 4pm came with a decision of interim
relief (bail) for Khan till Friday.
The defence included Former Solicitor General of
India Harish Salve, who within no time appealed on behalf of his client Khan in
the HC for bail. The bail order had to further present in the secession court
for the court to order the police officials to set Khan free, on bail.
The clerics and the Judges of the secession court in
Bandra were almost waiting for Harish Slave till 7.30pm who was on his way from
the Bombay HC to get the bail orders to the court in Bandra.
Senior lawyers said that such a thing of judiciary
waiting for a criminals bail order, was very unusual and it’s seen in very rarest
of rare case.
I was taken into police custody back in October
2013, by the Dahisar Police Station, after a false complain of threatening and
rioting and molesting modesty of a woman were charged on me. False FIR was lodged
and was taken into custody and was to be presented in the secession court on
the same day. I was given a chance to apply for appealing bail in the court and
was denied the bail on the same day because it was already 4.30pm and the court
clerics said “they don’t work this late and this in spite of the official
timing till 5pm.
The court at that time didn’t wait nor did work in
their official timings for accepting the bail plea of an ordinary citizen. It
was a denial of justice for me and resulted me spending the night in judicial
custody.
The court that time didn’t wait for an ordinary
citizen, so, what’s the point, logic or
reason behind them (court) waiting for a convicted criminal?
