New Delhi: The Maharashtra government on Friday told the Supreme Court that the Bombay High Court verdict acquitting Bollywood star Salman Khan in the 2002 hit-and-run case was "wishy-washy" and sought its reversal.

As Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for the state, took the bench of Justice J.S. Khehar and Justice C. Nagappan through the details of the case and the proceedings before the trial court, the apex court said that since it was a matter of acquittal, they will examine the evidence before deciding to issue notice to Salman Khan.
