A Mumbai court cancelled a bailable arrest warrant against Bollywood star Salman Khan in his 2002 hit-and-run case.
The Maharashtra government had appealed against his acquittal, which is pending in the Supreme Court.
Earlier this month, the court had issued the warrant against the actor for not providing the surety as per the directions of the apex court.
Khan, 52, appeared before Additional Sessions Judge M G Deshpande on Saturday and completed all the formalities, after which the court cancelled the warrant.
In February, he had approached the apex court seeking discharge of his surety given by his former publicist Reshma Shetty, stating that he wanted to replace it with the surety of his bodyguard Shera alias Gurmeet Singh Jolly.
The top court, which is hearing the appeal filed against his acquittal in the case by the state government, had allowed his plea on February 23. He was asked to comply with the process.
The sessions court had issued two notices to Khan this year — once on March 5, which was received by his father, and another one on March 16.
In December 2015, the Bombay High Court acquitted Khan of all criminal charges due to lack of substantial evidence. He was acquitted seven months after the sessions court held him guilty.
The actor was accused of running his car over homeless people sleeping on the pavement in suburban Bandra in 2002. One person died in the mishap. The trial court had awarded him a five-year jail term.
A court in Jodhpur had on April 5 sentenced the actor to five years in jail for killing a black buck in 1998.
On April 7, Khan walked out of the Jodhpur jail, where he spent two nights, after a sessions court granted him bail in the case.
