A PIL had been filed in the Supreme Court challenging the Bombay High Court's order to grant bail to Salman Khan in the 2002 hit-and-run case. The plea besides demanding for a stay on the High Court's order on Salman'ss case also mentioned that he needs to appear before jail authorities and surrender immediately.
The PIL was filed by Yashwant Singh, a journalist, who alleged that the actor had been given preferential treatment and it violates legal principles.
