Jodhpur’s much talked about Kankani black buck hunting case will be heard in Rajasthan High Court on Monday (16 February). It is considered possible that a decision will be taken regarding the role of Salman Khan. In this case, Salman Khan was sentenced to five years imprisonment by the lower court of Jodhpur.
Salman Khan has filed an appeal against this in the High Court, which will be heard on Monday. Earlier, Salman Khan’s advocate Hastimal Saraswat had presented an application for simultaneous hearing in the High Court on all the appeals of the black buck hunting case related to Salman Khan and other film stars. It has been accepted.
State government challenge
In the same case, co-accused actors Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Neelam, Sonali Bendre and local resident Dushyant Singh were acquitted by the trial court. The state government has challenged this decision of acquittal in the High Court. Hearing is also scheduled on the ‘Leave to Appeal’ filed by the government.
Hearing of all appeals together
On April 5, 2018, Salman Khan was sentenced to five years in prison in this case, while all the other co-accused – Saif Ali Khan, Neelam, Tabu, Sonali Bendre and Dushyant – were acquitted. Salman Khan appealed against this sentence in the District and Sessions Court and was released on bail.
At the same time, the state government filed leave to appeal in the Rajasthan High Court against the acquittal of the co-accused. During the hearing, the appeal challenging Salman Khan’s five-year sentence was also transferred to the High Court.
Apart from this, the appeal of the Arms Act case registered against Salman Khan at Luni police station on 15 October 1998 was also transferred to the High Court on 21 March 2022. At the same time, if the court takes cognizance of the appeal of the state government, then the troubles of the already acquitted co-accused may increase again. This hearing is expected to give a big decision on the future of Salman Khan and other accused.
What is the whole matter?
26 years ago in the year 1998, the shooting of the film Hum Saath Saath Hain was going on in the rural areas around Jodhpur. During this period, Bollywood stars Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Neelam, Tabu, Sonali Bendre and others had hunted blackbucks.
Three cases were registered against Salman Khan for deer hunting and one case was registered for illegal weapons. Salman Khan has been sentenced to five years imprisonment in two cases by the lower court. In the same case, he was sentenced to one year imprisonment.
The hearing of two cases is going on in the Supreme Court, while the hearing of the Kankani black buck hunting case is going on in the Jodhpur High Court. Salman Khan is still on bail in all cases.
