Maharashtra to seek Law Dept’s view in Salman case

Maharashtra government today said a decision on challenging the Mumbai High Court order dropping the charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder framed against Salman Khan in a hit-and-run case would be taken after seeking opinion of the Law and Judiciary Department.

‘‘I am yet to see the order but any decision, challenging the High Court’s order in the Supreme Court will be taken only after seeking views of the Law and Judiciary Department,’’ Deputy Chief Minister Chhagan Bhujbal told reporters here.

Bhujbal’s reply came when his attention was drawn to the High Court move dropping the charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder against Salman in a hit-and-run case.
