Bollywood actor Shiney Ahuja, who was sentenced to seven years' rigorous imprisonment for raping his domestic maid, has approached the Bombay High Court challenging his conviction.
The actor's appeal was admitted today and his plea for bail has been posted for hearing on April 27 by Justice A R Joshi.
Shiney, in his appeal, has stated that the lower court has erred in law while convicting him and that he has been falsely implicated in the case.
On March 30, a fast track court had convicted Shiney, although the victim had turned hostile during the trial. However, Ahuja was acquitted of the charges of criminal intimidation and wrongful confinement.
The court had said it had considered circumstantial evidence -- the DNA report was positive, the hymen was torn, there were blood marks on victim's clothes, semen was found on quilt and curtains and Shiney's hand bore scratch marks of the victim -- while convicting the accused.
