In
a
setback
to
film
star
Salman
Khan,
Supreme
Court
Wednesday
set
aside
the
Rajasthan
High
Court
order
staying
his
conviction
in
the
blackbuck
hunting
case.
An
apex
court
bench
headed
by
Justice
S.J.
Mukhopadhyay
remanded
the
matter
back
to
the
high
court
for
fresh
consideration.
Pronouncing
the
verdict,
Justice
Mukhopadhyay
said
the
filmstar
could
tell
the
court
that
he
would
suffer
irreversible
damage
if
his
conviction
is
not
stayed
and
he
is
eventually
acquitted.
The
court
said
that
the
Rajasthan
government
at
the
same
time
could
argue
that
no
irreversible
damage
which
cannot
be
undone
would
be
caused
if
his
conviction
is
not
stayed.
The
Rajasthan
High
Court
had
stayed
Salman's
conviction
on
his
plea
that
it
was
coming
in
his
way
to
get
visa
to
travel
to
England.
Salman's
sentence
has
already
been
stayed
by
the
high
court.
