Salman judgment on June 26th
Friday,
June

2006
Jodhpur
(UNI):
A
local
court
here
today
reserved
its
judgment
in
the
case
relating
to
illegal
possession
of
arms
by
Bollywood
actor
Salman
Khan
till
June
26.
The
court
of
magistrate
Dalpat
Singh
Rajpurohit
today
heard
the
defense
counsel,
which
was
responding
to
a
petition
filed
by
the
prosecution.
The
prosecution
presented
an
application
along
with
25
documents
in
the
court
on
June
19,
urging
it
to
consider
these
documents
as
proofs.
These
documents
have
been
recorded
in
the
Kankani
poaching
case
but
the
prosecution
had
failed
to
produce
these
documents
in
the
illegal
possession
of
arms
case.
The defense counsel Hastimal Saraswat said in the court today that these documents were already available with the police but these were not considered important when the police produced the challan. He argued these documents are related to the witnesses and the prosecution failed to produce these documents during the cross examination of the witnesses, so that the defense counsel refrains from questioning them over the matter.
Mr Saraswat said presenting these documents during the examination of the last witness is not right and the court should dismiss the prosecution's application. The court after hearing both the sides decided to reserve its judgement till June 26. The forest department had lodged a case of illegal possession of arms by Salman Khan in Luni police station on October 15, 1998. The case is on for the last eight years in the court. Around 15 witnesses have been cross-examined in this case. The last witness in the case - the then Upper Superintendent Ashok Patni - remains to be heard.
