Salman Khan tells court he was not driving the car at the time of mishap on September 28, 2002.
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan moved an application to ban the media during the recording of his statement in a 2002 hit-and-run case in a sessions court but it was rejected. Judge D. W. Deshpande rejected the plea but directed the media to report only after the recording of Salman's entire statement is completed.
The actor was ordered to personally appear before Deshpande to record his statement under Section 313 of the Criminal Procedure Code, considered a crucial stage in the retrial of the case before the final arguments begin.The development on Friday follows the conclusion of arguments by prosecutor Pradeep Gharat earlier this week.

Salman Khan was influence of liquor: Prosecution
The prosecution has alleged that the actor was under the influence of liquor and examined witnesses to prove that before the mishap he had gone along with his friends to a bar in a seven star hotel in the late hours on the ill-fated day. It has alleged that he did not have a driving licence. The prosecution has also alleged that Khan was driving his Land Cruiser SUV in a rash and negligent manner. In this regard, it has relied upon the statement of Khan's police bodyguard Ravindra Patil to a Magistrate earlier that he had asked the actor not to drive rashly or else he would meet with an accident but he did not pay heed to his advice.
This is a fresh trial being held in a sessions court after a magistrate added the charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder which lays down punishment upto ten years.
A witness in the 2002 hit-and-run case involving superstar Salman Khan on November5, 2014 had said the actor was not smelling of liquor when he met him at his place a few hours after the mishap.
Salman may examine defence witnesses if he wants to do so
After his statement is recorded, Khan would also get an opportunity to examine defence witnesses if he wants to do so. The court would then hear arguments of both the sides before giving its verdict.
Judge DW Deshpande has summoned Khan to appear on Friday to give his statement under section 313 of CrPc which comes at the fag end of the trial after the prosecution closed its evidence by examining more than 25 witnesses in court.
It would be a crucial test for the 49-year-old actor as he gets an opportunity to give his version about the mishap that occurred in the wee hours of September 28, 2002 when his car ran over people sleeping on pavement outside a bakery in suburban Bandra.
