The Bombay High Court on Wednesday deferred till July 13 an appeal filed by Bollywood superstar Salman Khan against the five-year sentence awarded to him in the hit-and-run case, after the actor's lawyer sought time to check documents.

Although the 'paper book' (compilation of evidence and documents) is ready and copies have been served to both the sides by the court), Salman's counsel Amit Desai urged for three weeks' adjournment to check whether the documents were in order.
