Blackbuck case: HC rejects revision plea against Salman
16 May 2013 4:16 PM IST
A revision petition against Bollywood actor Salman Khan in the 14-year-old blackbuck poaching case seeking additional charges against him under Arms Act was today rejected by the Rajasthan High Court.
The court observed that the petition of the Rajasthan government has been pending for a long time and ‘that there was no point in carrying it further,’ government counsel Mahipal Bishnoi said.
‘So the court rejected the petition filed by the government leaving it to the discretion of the lower court to resume the trial,’ Bishnoi said.
The state government had filed the petition in the Rajasthan High Court in 2006 for revision of charges against Khan in the Arms Act after its plea was rejected by the lower court.
