Jodhpur:
An application has been moved in Jodhpur court against actor Salman Khan accusing him of misleading the court by seeking exemption from an appearance on health grounds in an Arms Act case . The actor is accused of shooting for a film during the same period.
Chief Judicial Magistrate Anupama Bijlani has admitted the application moved by Lalit Boda, the forest officer who had registered the case against Salman Khan for alleged poaching of black bucks in 1998.
The matter has been listed for hearing on April 29.
However, Mr Khan's counsel H M Saraswat said they had mentioned in the exemption application that Salman Khan had a problem in his ear and had been advised not to travel by air.
"This application is not maintainable as we had never said that he could not go for shooting. We only said that on account of some ear problem, he has been advised not to go for air travel," said Mr Saraswat
In his application, Mr Boda cited a news report about Salman Khan shooting for his upcoming film, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, in Jammu and Kashmir.
He alleged that by seeking exemption on health grounds, the actor had given wrong facts and had misled the court. Mr Boda sought stringent action against Mr Khan for misleading the court.
A case had been registered against Mr Khan by the forest department under the Arms Act mentioning that licence of the arms used by him during alleged poaching of black bucks at village Kankani near Jodhpur on the intervening night of 1-2 October, 1998, had expired and hence the actor had been using the arms illegally.
