The Bombay High Court said a lower court had failed in discovering the 49-year-old liable of at fault crime and different charges after a nearly watched trial in May when he was sentenced to five years in jail.
"The request is permitted and the choice of the trial court is subdued and put aside. Salman Khan is cleared of all charges,"
Judge Anil Ramchandra Joshi told the court.
Khan, one of the Indian motion picture industry's greatest film industry draws, separated in tears and supporters in the display let out quieted cheers as the decision was conveyed.
Joshi said the indictment had "neglected to build up past sensible uncertainty" that Khan was driving his SUV and affected by liquor when it smashed into a gathering of vagrants in rural Mumbai in 2002.
Worker Nurulah Mahbob Sharif was executed and a few others were harmed when the vehicle furrowed into them at velocity as they thought about a road in the suburb of Bandra West.
A sessions court discovered Khan liable of all charges in May, including driving impaired and without a permit.
In any case, Joshi, who directed the claim, said the court had failed in tolerating the affirmation of the indictment's key witness.
He portrayed Khan's previous bodyguard, Ravindra Patil, who had demanded the performing artist was in the driver's seat and speeding, as "not entirely dependable", refering to "different peculiarities in his affirmation".
"Sadly there are no witnesses to back his form," the judge said in regards to Patil, who kicked the bucket from tuberculosis in 2007.
Khan has featured in more than 100 movies and TV programs since his first hit "Maine Pyar Kiya" (I Began to look all starry eyed at) in the 1980s.
Amit Desai, Khan's attorney, told journalists that it "had been a long 13 years".
"To the extent my customer is concerned it's an awesome alleviation. We are exceptionally happy of the result," he said.
Khan's trial started vigorously a year ago after a progression of court hearings and protracted lawful hold-ups. His barrier group kept up all through that the performing artist's driver was to be faulted for the mishap.
They asserted Khan had been drinking water and had moved out of the auto through the driver's side after the mishap as the traveler entryway had been harmed.
In any case, the sessions court dismisses that safeguard, discovering him liable on May 6. Khan quickly advanced and the sentence was suspended two days after the fact, pending the result.
State prosecutors in Maharashtra, of which Mumbai is the capital, are relied upon to offer yesterday's decision to the Incomparable Court.
Khan has been out on safeguard all through the trial and bid. The case has apparently not meddled with his profession as one of Bollywood's most bankable stars, adored by millions.
Many glad fans assembled outside his home in Mumbai's north as news of his absolution spread, while associates in the Hindi film industry tweeted their pleasure.
"I need to express gratitude toward God for this," one fan said.
Other Twitter clients were less kind, proposing there was one guideline for the rich and another for the poor in India, mourning that little consideration was being given to the casualty.
Khan is no more peculiar to discussion and spent over a week in the slammer for executing a jeopardized Indian gazelle in 1998.
