Public Prosecutor Ramsukh Sharma said that Salman had not presented himself before the court even once since the hearing began on the appeal.

“We argued that Salman could not get exemption from his presence always,” said Sharma.

On the other hand, Salman’s counsel sought exemption from his presence, saying that it could lead to law and order situation as the actor has a huge fan following.

The court rejected the argument and said hearing would be conducted on regular basis from Sep 20.

Salman and seven others were accused of killing a blackbuck and a chinkara in two separate incidents. One of the animals was killed at Bhawad on the outskirts of Jodhpur Sep 26, 1998, and the other at Ghoda Farms Sep 28, 1998.

At that time, Salman and other actors were shooting for the film “Hum Saath Saath Hain”.
