Salman,
Saif appear in Jodhpur court
in black buck shooting case
Jodhpur:
A Jodhpur court has directed actors Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan and
four other stars to appear before it in connection with the 1997 shooting
of four black bucks. The final verdict is likely to be given today. The
direction to appear before the court was issued by Chief Metropolitan
Magistrate in Jodhpur, Salman's lawyer Dipesh Mehta, told the reporters.
Besides, Salman and Saif, Neelam, Tabbu, Sonali Bhendre and Satish Shah
have also been asked to be present in the court. The actors shot the black
bucks, an endangered species, in Rajasthan when they had gone for a film
shooting in 1997. Salman was arrested earlier in the case and granted
bail while others had secured anticipatory bail, Mehta said. In December
last year, a Rajasthan court had cancelled Salman's bail after he missed
a scheduled court appearance on charges of killing the black bucks. The
chief judicial magistrate of Jodhpur BK Jain had issued a non-bailable
warrant against Salman for disobeying the court and not appearing in the
court thrice in the black buck killing case. Justice S C Dharmadhikari
granted Salman a protection period till December 20 regarding the implementation
of the warrant. The court, however, asked Salman to appear before the
competent court within ten days in the black buck killing cases. A Jodhpur
court had recently issued an arrest warrant against the Salman in the
black buck killing case. In his application, the actor said he had pleaded
exemption from personal appearance as he had undergone hair weaving surgery
on December 11 and was advised not to move out for two days. The local
court had adjourned the hearing in the two cases till January 12. Last
year, in the month of June, Saif Ali Khan's father and cricket legend,
Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi, was charged with killing black buck, an endangered
species, in Haryana. Pataudi after denial was granted bail.
