A while ago, Salman Khan was granted
bail by Jodhpur Sessions court. Now, Saif Ali Khan, Sonakshi Sinha and Prem
Chopra were spotted at Galaxy Apartments.
The actor, who got convicted in 1998
Blackbuck poaching case, on April 5, appealed for a bail yesterday.
However, the court reserved the decision for today.
The actor has shelled out Rs 50,000 as the bail amount and will also have to
sought permission before going abroad.
Salman's lawyer, Mahesh Bora argued in court that bail is actor's right. Khan
has appeared in court whenever required and will be present in future also. He
further added that there is no point to restrict his freedom while review
petition against the trial court judgment is pending in the court. Bora also
asked public prosecutor that on what basis he is opposing Salman's bail.
Last night, news came in that the judge handling Salman's case, Ravindra Joshi,
has been transferred, and a new judge, will take his place from Monday. There were speculations that Joshi might
opt to take leave today and the case will be heard by the new judge on
Monday, however, Joshi arrived at the court
this morning to give out the verdict.
This is a relief for the actor, who spent his last two nights at the jail. He
will return to Mumbai this evening.
Yesterday, the judge was not convinced with the arguments and called for all
documents related to the case. As soon as the decision was announced, Salman’s
lawyers were visibly disappointed since they couldn’t get bail for the actor on
Friday. Salman’s lawyers presented a 51 page bail plea to the court, along with
a plea to suspend his 5-year jail term.
We even told you about Salman Khan’s health report while he spent his first
night in Jodhpur Central Jail on Thursday.
His first night as Qaidi No. 106, was not an easy one as he complained of high
BP. He was given tea and four glucose biscuits at 6:30 in the morning. Sources say that the
actor requested for milk for which he paid Rs 400/-.
