Yesterday evening, Khan furninshed a bond of Rs 30,000 as directed by High Court and went back home. Several Bollywood personalities visited him at his residence Galaxy Apartments in Bandra suburban area of Mumbai.
During hearing of Salman's bail plea, Justice Abhay Thipsay observed, "This is not a case where I should keep him (Khan) in jail till his appeal is heard and decided. Why his right should suffer when his appeal is admitted and kept pending? In many cases people have suffered and spent their entire prison term only to be acquitted later by the High Court."
Justice Thipsay had granted interim bail to 49-year-old Khan hours after his conviction and sentencing by sessions court judge D W Deshpande on Wednesday.
A man was killed and four others were wounded when Khan's Toyota Land Cruiser ran over them while they were asleep on a pavement outside a bakery in suburban Bandra on September 28, 2002.
