However,
the
actor
on
Thursday
filed
an
application
seeking
exemption
from
personal
appearance
while
citing
security
reasons.
"We
informed
the
court
that
there
were
security
and
law
and
order
issues
in
Jodhpur
city
in
view
of
the
encounter
of
a
gangster
Anand
Pal
Singh,"
his
advocate
H.M.
Saraswat
told
IANS.
Anand
Pal
was
shot
dead
by
the
special
operations
group
(SOG)
of
Rajasthan
police
in
a
village
near
Churu
a
few
days
back
and
his
supporters
are
demonstrating
in
Jodhpur
and
across
the
state
with
the
demand
for
a
CBI
inquiry.
The
court,
while
allowing
the
application
of
Salman,
deferred
the
hearing
to
August
4.
Besides
that,
final
arguments
in
a
case
of
alleged
poaching
of
two
blackbucks
in
Kankani
village
near
Jodhpur
were
also
deferred
on
Thursday.
Salman
and
other
Bollywood
celebrities
involved
in
the
case
moved
an
application
for
exemption
from
personal
appearance
before
the
trial
court,
which
was
allowed
and
the
matter
has
now
been
posted
for
arguments
on
July
22.
Salman
and
some
other
Bollywood
actors
are
accused
of
poaching
blackbucks
on
the
night
of
October
1,
1998
during
the
shooting
of
Hindi
movie
Hum
Saath-Saath
Hain.
Salman
was
also
accused
of
carrying
and
using
illegal
arms.
A
case
under
the
Arms
Act
was
registered
against
him,
but
he
was
acquitted
from
the
charges
in
January
this
year
by
the
local
Chief
Judicial
Magistrate
(CJM)
court.
