Khan, who was present in court, pleaded not guilty to the charges. The trial is scheduled to begin Aug. 19.
One man was killed and four people were injured when Khan allegedly drove his car into a group of homeless people sleeping on a Mumbai sidewalk in September 2002.
The court charged Khan with culpable homicide not amounting to murder, said Abha Singh, a lawyer involved in the case. Khan could face up to 10 years in jail if convicted.
The court ruled that Khan, 47 years old, would not have to attend every hearing of the case, but would have to appear in court whenever the judge required his presence.
