The law and order situation created in the wake of Anandpal encounter prevented Bollywood actor Salman Khan from appearing before the District & Sessions court here on Thursday.

He was supposed to appear before the court today for filing the bail bonds followed by an appeal by the state government against his acquittal by the trial court in a case against him under the Arms Act.

Salman has been accused of using illegal arms in the alleged killing of  black bucks in 1998.

Citing law and order issues, the defence counsel H M Saraswat sought exemption for Salman from appearing before the court while seeking deferment.

The court while accepting the plea of Salman’s lawyer, granted the exemption and deferred the hearing to August 4.

Saraswat claimed that Salman was ready to leave for Jodhpur and had already booked the ticket. He said the exemption was sought after the police expressed apprehension about the law and order situation in view of Anandpal encounter. Meanwhile, the final arguments, which were also supposed to begin from today at the trial court against Salman Khan and four other film stars in the alleged poaching of two black bucks case could not begin on account of the process of taking some documents pertaining to the case on record.Prosecution Counsel Bhawani Singh said that since some general documents and an application had to be taken on record, the final arguments could not begin from today.

“Now, the final arguments in the case will begin from July 22 and the defence will begin its arguments, which will be replied by the prosecution thereafter,” said Singh, adding that this last case of the poaching at the trial court involving Salman Khan will now be reaching the stage of judgment very soon.
