Salman Khan Blackbuck Poaching Case: New Hearing on November 29

An order was given by CJM Rural Court to hear arguments in the black buck poaching case against Bollywood star Salman Khan after hearing on two pleas on Thursday. The actor is accused of misleading the court and if proven guilty, he may face imprisonment for maximum seven years. The charge against Salman is that he moved an application in the court seeking exemption from personal appearance. He pleaded that he was not well due to severe pain in his ear. But apparently, the actor was reportedly busy shooting for the film Bajrangi Bhaijaan on the same day. Bigg Boss 12: Salman Khan Takes a Dig At Himself by Indirectly Commenting on The Blackbuck Case.

The actor was earlier convicted in the blackbuck poaching case on April 5 and he was booked under Section 9/51 of the Wildlife (Protection) Act. The actor was even sentenced to five-year imprisonment with a fine of Rs 10,000. Later, however, he was released on bail on a bond of Rs 50,000 and two sureties of like amount by a District and Sessions court. Race 3 Crew Couldn't Shoot in South Africa Thanks to Salman Khan's Conviction in Blackbuck Poaching Case.

The Bishnoi community was then unhappy with the bail verdict ruling in the actor's favour. According to the India Today report, they had decided to move to the Rajasthan High Court against the actor as they expected to get the justice there. We now wait to hear the verdict on this new hearing.
