As the news arrive, Charges for culpable homicide have been framed on Salman Khan today. If you follow the news, it appears as if even framing charges is an uphill task when it is related to a celebrity.
Apparently, the Judge wasn't ready to take the case because he has been transferred. Prosecutor Erande must have done some hell of a task to convince him to accept the case today itself. Overall the outcome of today's proceeding is charges have been framed against Salman Khan and he has been directed to be present in front of the court when ever required.
I don't know if Salman Khan is guilty or not, so I am not going to make any comments about that here.What irritates me is the time required to get justice in India. Its an 11 years old case and all that we have reached till date is framing charges. Now that Mr. Khan is going out of the country for next 2 months, there won't be any developments. With this pace, it surely will take around, may be five-ten more years, I don't know, to get a judgement. Then, there will be appeals, going to other courts and some other reasons we do not know.
I am just hoping, how pathetic the pace of judgement delivery is in India, finally there is a judgement. We have seen it recently in case of Sanjay Dutt's case. Finally Justice is served after about 20 years. Salman's case has just finished 11 years. So, probably in coming 9-10 years, a judgement will be available. By that time, he would have turned something like 55, I guess. He might even have lost a big fan base and the judgement passed would not mean a lot. But I guess, that's the way it is. I will rather be surprised if what I wrote here turn out to be wrong.

I am so glad the charges were framed on Him after a long 11 years..What Judiciary System runs on this country..Pathetic..
And as the charges has been framed on him I guess it will take another couple of years or may be more to give the final judgement and till then he will be free bird doing more such activities I Guess
Much has been said about the redundant procedures in the Indian Judicial System, and what you have pointed out is of course the standard norm so far as framing charges against celebrities and netas are concerned. Sigh.
let see what happens next.. Technology News and Updates
The judicial system in India is pathetically slow. Justice delayed is justice denied. And as you say, after so many years the punishment will mean almost nothing.
It is intentionally slow .. more than pathetically .. Lalu is playing with chara ghota since ages now .. nothing will happen slap charges and challenge the case .. all crap .. Salman Khan is a big name with load of money and power .. Sanjay Dutt's was a deadlier case .. Celebs are free to kill commoners in India.. thats no deal .. :(
