Hearing Scheduled for July 26th
The Rajasthan High Court in Jodhpur heard the Kanakani blackbuck poaching case today. The court accepted the leave to appeal presented by the government. The court consolidated the government's appeal with other cases related to Salman Khan. The next hearing in this matter will be on July 26th.
In the blackbuck poaching case, Salman Khan received a five-year sentence, while other film industry figures, Saif Ali Khan, Neelam, Tabu, Sonali Bendre, and Dushyant Singh, were acquitted. Following this, the government filed a leave to appeal against the acquittal of these stars. Salman Khan's advocate, Hastimal Saraswat, had appealed to transfer the case from the lower court to the High Court, and he is currently out on bail.
Leave to appeal is a legal process used when the usual time limit for filing an appeal has expired. It requires obtaining special permission from the court to appeal against a judgment or order.
