The actor, who got convicted in 1998 Blackbuck poaching case, on April 5,
appealed for a bail on Friday.
However, the court reserved the decision for Saturday.
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.
On Friday, 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 the same day. 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/-.
