Judge DW Deshpande said the actor would have to be present in the court for the judgement.
Khan has been charged with culpable homicide by the Mumbai court.
He recently told the court he was not driving on the night of the incident.
The actor also said his driver Altaf was driving the car when the crash occurred.
If convicted, he faces 10 years in prison.
Late on the night of 28 September 2002, Khan's Toyota Land Cruiser rammed into the American Express bakery in the Bandra area of Mumbai, authorities say.
The vehicle ran over five people sleeping on the streets, killing 38-year-old Noor Ullah Khan and seriously injuring three others. Another person received minor injuries.
The prosecution has alleged that Khan was driving the car and that he was drunk.
The actor, who has always denied the charges against him, recently told the court that he was not drunk and was not driving the car either.
Khan is one of Bollywood's biggest stars and has starred in more than 80 Hindi-language films.
Several of his films, including Dabangg, Ready, Bodyguard, Ek Tha Tiger, Maine Pyar Kiya and Hum Aap Ke Hain Kaun, have been huge commercial hits.

The 25-year-old full-back moved to New Zealand Warriors for a world-record fee last year after helping Wigan to a league and Challenge Cup double.
"It's somewhere where I'd never say I'd never want to go back to, so at some point in the future it's very possible," Tomkins said.
"I'll never say never. I'll always be a Wigan fan even if I'm not playing there. I love the people, the town."
After announcing his move to the NRL, Tomkins said he could not picture himself playing for another Super League club should he return to England.
After his spell in rugby union, Tomkins' brother Joel returned to Warriors this season from Saracens.
"As soon as Joel signed they were saying 'oh that must mean you're coming back', but for the time being I'm happy playing at the (New Zealand) Warriors," Tomkins told BBC Radio Manchester's Rugby League Extra.
"Watching it as a fan, I'm waiting on results and seeing where it puts Wigan in the league - I've been much more interested in Super League than I have been watching the NRL.
"When you're playing you're concentrating so much on your own game and who you're playing you're not to bothered about other results."
Tomkins scored 13 tries in his 21 appearances in his first season at this new club but they finished outside the play-off places in 11th.

Pauline King, described by police as a "reclusive hermit", was found at The Avenues on 22 February.
Alexander Kerry, 23, of Kinghorn Road, Norwich, was sentenced at Ipswich Crown Court after he entered a guilty plea.
He denied a charge of sexual assault and the prosecution chose not to proceed on that count.
Ms King died as a result of a sustained assault with a knife and hammer during a burglary at her home, the court was told.
She lived alone in what police described as a "dilapidated" detached house and neighbours said she was a pleasant but reclusive woman.
Kerry was found later the same day wandering nearby streets covered in blood.
Det Sup Paul Durham described it as a "vile murder" which "sent a shudder of fear" through the community.
Prosecutor Andrew Jackson said Kerry, desperate for money after drinking in a Norwich city centre pub, had broken into the home and beat Ms King to death.
He then tried to set fire to the house to destroy the evidence, he said.
The court heard he was left deeply damaged after his father murdered his mother as he and his brother slept at their home in 2002.
Mr Justice Stuart-Smith said he acted with "animal brutality" to murder Miss King and sexually abuse her dying body in an "act of desecration".
He said: "Nothing begins to explain what you did to Pauline King. She must have suffered terribly."
Kerry had a criminal record including violence and disorderly behaviour dating back to his teens, he said.
Jonathan Goodman, mitigating, said his client had "self-medicated" through alcohol and drugs following the almost "unimaginable" events of his childhood.
A court in India will give its verdict on 6 May in a 2002 hit-and-run incident in which Bollywood star Salman Khan is accused of running over five men sleeping on a pavement, killing one of them.
