According to the defence, he is the only living witness who could tell the court who was behind the steering wheel when the incident took place.

They also claimed that Singh came to court when the trail was nearing its end in order to save Salman.He also rejected the defence lawyer’s argument that Nurullah Mehboob Sharif, the deceased, died only because the car got detached from the Illuminated sign crane (when it was being lifted to rescue the victims trapped underneath) fell on him. It is actually a towing van with a crane mounted on it,” he said.The prosecution on Tuesday argued before Justice A.R.The prosecution also questioned how Salman refrained from sacking his employee after he allegedly caused him to be arrested and earned him a bad name. The prosecution will continue its arguments on Wednesday. According to them, even if the actor had to escape from the scene to save his life he should have gone to the police station, pointing out that his driver caused an accident which resulted in people receiving serious injuries and even death.

The motive behind the sudden disappearance of the actor after the incident was also questioned by the prosecution.

The court had asked the prosecution to file reply on this application, and it is likely to clear its stand soon.The prosecution in the 2002 hit-and-run case involving Bollywood star Salman Khan on Tuesday commenced its arguments in the case and claimed that there is ample evidence to prove that the actor was driving the car when it met with an accident, which resulted in death of one person and injured four others. However, the judge has asked the prosecution to point out any witness who had seen the actor driving the car. The defence, while concluding its arguments had also filed an application seeking requesting court to call singer Kamaal Khan to court as a witness to prove who was driving the car at the time of incident. "The (word) ‘crane’ gives a different impression.

It was also argued in the court that the defence should have made the claim that there were in fact four people in the car (including Ashok Singh) at the beginning of the trial and not at the fag end of it, advocate Shinde said.Public prosecutor Sandeep Shinde along with Poornima Kantharia focused mainly on who was driving the car at the time of incident and why the actor’s family driver Ashok Singh waited for 13 years to speak out at court and claim that he was driving the car at the time of incident. Joshi, who is hearing the appeal filed by the actor against trial court judgment convicting him, that there are witnesses who have said in their statement that they had seen Salman stepping out of the car from the driver’s seat.

Dismissing the contention that no development had taken place during the previous Congress China Wholesale Mini sign regimes as "malicious” propaganda, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday said that the country’s economic policy has "no sense of direction” after the Modi government decided to scrap the Planning Commission.

Speaking at the inauguration of a national convention organised by the Youth Congress on Indira Gandhi’s 98th birth anniversary, Dr Singh asked party workers to tell people how the government’s decision to abolish the planning body has been "harmful” for the country.

"The economic policy has no sense of direction and this is largely because the Planning Commission, with all its deficiencies, was a positive dynamic instrument of steering the country’s economy,” Dr Singh said.Dr Singh said as Indira Gandhi followed Jawaharlal Nehru’s path of planned development, she always emphasised the need of the Planning Commission for a country as diverse as India.
