Hearing on two appeals pertaining to two poaching cases against Bollywood actor Salman Khan were deferred to December 18 by a sessions court here on Friday due to lack of time. "There are two appeals pending in the sessions court, one each by the government against the acquittal of Khan in the Arms Act case and one by Khan himself challenging the conviction in a poaching case," said Khan's counsel Mahesh Bora. Both were deferred due to "unavailability of enough time with the court". Bigg Boss 12: Salman Khan Takes a Dig At Himself by Indirectly Commenting on The Blackbuck Case.
