Salmans Illegal Arms Court Hearing Put Off Till July 20

Salman Khan’s trial under Arms Act in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) here has been put off till July 20 after the actor challenged the lower courts verdict in the High Court.

Salman was supposed to present his side in the court today but his counsel H M Saraswat sought deferment in the wake of stay on the trial granted by the High Court until the petition was decided.

The lawyer moved a criminal miscellaneous petition in the High Court seeking permission to call 5 prosecution witnesses for re-examination. The court allowed the same on May 28.

The petition will be decided upon in the High Court on July 8. After that, the hearing for the case will take place in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate (Jodhpur district) on July 20.

Salman had appeared in the trial court to record his statement on April 29, where he had pleaded innocence. The court had then given him a chance to produce evidence on May 4. But before this could happen, the Session Court had stayed the trial after Salmans petition. Following this petition, the trial was held up, with the court giving the fresh date of June 1.
