Salman
Khan
during
the
recent
hearing
in
court
apologised
for
'mistakenly'
submitting
a
false
affidavit
in
the
Jodhpur
session
court
in
2003.
Both
hearing
sessions
in
the
court
were
in
the
case
of
poaching
two
blackbucks
in
Jodhpur
in
1998.
In
the
latest
hearing
that
took
place
on
Tuesday
(February
9),
Salman
appealed
the
Jodhpur
sessions
court
against
conviction
in
the
blackbuck
poaching
case
through
video
conferencing.
Actor's
lawyer
Hastimal
Saraswat
told
the
court
that
the
affidavit
was
mistakenly
submitted
for
which
the
actor
should
be
forgiven.
Salman
Khan
was
asked
to
submit
his
arms
licence
in
2003,
for
which
he
had
submitted
an
affidavit
saying
that
he
had
lost
the
license.
Khan
had
reportedly
also
lodged
an
FIR
at
the
Bandra
police
station
in
Mumbai
in
this
connection.
However,
the
court
later
found
out
that
Salman's
arm
license
was
not
lost,
but
had
been
submitted
for
renewal.
Public
prosecutor
Bhavani
Singh
Bhati
had
demanded
that
a
case
of
misleading
the
court
should
be
filed
against
the
actor.
The
Sultan
actor's
lawyer
Hastimal
Saraswat
on
Tuesday
said,
"The
affidavit
was
mistakenly
given
on
August
8,
2003,
as
Salman
had
forgotten
that
his
license
was
given
for
renewal
because
he
was
too
busy.
Therefore,
he
mentioned
that
the
license
had
gone
missing
in
the
court."
The
court
has
revealed
that
the
final
verdict
in
the
case
will
be
pronounced
on
Thursday
(February
11,
2021).
For
the
unversed,
Salman
was
arrested
in
1998
for
hunting
two
blackbucks
in
Kankani
village
near
Jodhpur.
At
the
time,
the
actor
was
reportedly
shooting
for
the
film,
Hum
Saath
Saath
Hain.
He
had
been
convicted
and
sentenced
to
five-year
imprisonment
during
a
court
trial
in
2018,
however,
Salman
Khan
had
challenged
the
order
in
the
sessions
court.
