On May 6, Salman Khan was convicted of culpable homicide not amounting to murder and sentenced to five years imprisonment in the 2002 hit-and-run case but was later granted bail pending his appeal against conviction.

The Supreme Court on Monday refused to entertain yet another plea seeking cancellation of bail granted to Bollywood actor Salman Khan by the Bombay High Court in the 2002 hit-and-run case. “We are sorry. The petitioner is permitted to withdraw the petition,” said a bench of Chief Justice H L Dattu and Justice Amitava Roy.

The fresh petition was also filed by Sushila Bai Himmat Rao Patil, mother of deceased constable Ravindra Patil, who was Salman’s bodyguard at the time. Patil died from tuberculosis in 2007.
