Observing that the prosecution has taken considerable time to examine witnesses in the hit-and-run case involving actor Salman Khan , a local magistrate has fixed a time frame for the trial from November 8.

As per the chargesheet, there are 64 witnesses and the prosecution has examined only five of them in a span of three years from October 2003 to October 2006.

“In view of the large number of witnesses and considering the time taken by the prosecution for examining five witnesses it appears that the trial would not come to an end at least for next three years minimum,� Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate D A Joshi said in his order.

Accordingly, the court decided to conduct the trial on every Wednesday commencing November 8 during the second session of the day.

Salman’s lawyer Dipesh Mehta pointed out to the court that so far ten witnesses had been dropped by the prosecution.

The next witness to depose on November 8 would be among the four who were injured when the actor allegedly rammed his car into a bakery in suburban Bandra on September 28, 2002, killing one person and wounding four others.
