On May 8, the High Court granted him bail and suspended his sentence pending the hearing and disposal of his appeal against the conviction. The High Court had also said that the actor would need to seek the court’s permission every time he wants to leave the country. Salman’s application, filed on Wednesday, says that he wants to travel to Dubai for a show on 29 May. A vacation bench of the High Court is likely to hear it next week. 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 28 September, 2002. PTI
