Two people — Mohammed Abdul Sayyad (55) and Mohammed Salim Sabuwala (50) — had died that night on June 9, when Gadkar's car rammed into their taxi.
Barely, a week after Salman Khan was acquitted in a 2002-hit-and-run case, corporate lawyer Janhavi Gadkar, accused in a drunken driving case, has got back her driving licence. According to a report in HT, the sessions court ordered the police to return her driving licence.
Gadkar was reportedly allowed to take her licence back after she submitted the required endorsement from the regional transport office (RTO). The court had allowed the car to be returned to her last week, and she can use the car without changing its colour.
Gadkar was granted bail against a surety of Rs 30,000 on August 5, after spending 57 days in jail. Along with other charges, she is charged with culpable homicide, not amounting to murder.
Sessions court judge Sanjay Patil, while granting bail, observed that the investigation of the RCF police in the case is over. Patil also observed that Gadkar is a woman and, hence, the case needs to be dealt with differently.The prosecution, while objecting to Gadkar's bail, had argued that it will send out a wrong message to the society. The prosecution said that Gadkar was involved in an accident earlier as well and there is a possibility that she might repeat the offence. (Read: Janhavi Gadkar gets bail)

The high court has last week acquitted Salman in the hit and run case, quashing the trial court order convicting and sentencing him for five years. It held that the prosecution had failed to prove "beyond reasonable doubt" that the actor was driving the vehicle at the time of accident and that he was drunk.
