The Maharashtra government on Wednesday informed the Bombay High Court that it will appeal in the Supreme Court against the acquittal of Bollywood star Salman Khan in the 2002 accident case.
The high court ruling came on an appeal filed by Salman, challenging the verdict of the sessions court last May which had found him guilty on various counts and awarded him a five - year jail term for the accident.
Meanwhile, legal experts, social activists, former police officials and others welcomed the state government's decision to challenge the high court verdict acquitting the actor.
