Sessions judge UB Hejib fixed June 10 for deciding the appeal after arguments concluded today. The 47-year-old actor was granted exemption from personal appearance on a plea by his counsel Ashok Mudargi that he was out of town on account of professional engagement.u00a0 <img alt="Verdict on Salman Khan's appeal in hit-and-run case on June 10" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/dec/Salman-Khan.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 461px;" /> Salman Khan Advancing his arguments against invoking the grave charge of &#39;culpable homicide not amounting to murder&#39; (section 304 part II IPC), Mundargi pleaded the magistrate&#39;s order was &quot;erroneous, bad in law and contrary to evidence on record.&quot;u00a0 The magistrate, he contended, had failed to appreciate that the actor had neither the intention (to kill people) nor the knowledge that his rash and negligent driving would kill a person and cause injury to four others. The offence under this section attracts a ten-year jail term and is triable by a sessions court. Khan was earlier tried by a magistrate under lesser charge of causing death by negligence (Section 304A of IPC), that provides for a maximum punishment of two years in jail. However, in a twist to the case, the metropolitan magistrate, after examining 17 witnesses, had brought forth the more serious charge of culpable homicide against the actor and transferred it to a sessions court for re-trial. Khan&#39;s lawyer also filed written submissions on the appeal and made oral arguments.u00a0

A Mumbai sessions court will deliver its verdict on June 10 on the admissibility of an appeal filed by Bollywood actor Salman Khan challenging a magistrate's order invoking the charge of culpable homicide against him in a 2002 hit-and-run case.
