Jodhpur : The Rajasthan High Court on Tuesday allowed a plea by Bollywood superstar Salman Khan to summon 5 prosecution witnesses for re-examination in a black buck poaching case against him under Arms Act.
Khan moved a criminal miscellaneous petition in the high court seeking permission to allow him to recall 5 prosecution witnesses, including the then District Magistrate Rajat Kumar Mishra and the Investigation Officer (ASP) Ashok Patni, after the two subsequent rejections of the same plea by the trial and the ACJM (Rural) courts, reports PTI.
“The petition was heard by the court earlier on July 20 but remained incomplete. Today, justice Nirmal Jeet Kaur allowed the petition and ordered the lower (trial) court to summon 5 witnesses for re-examination by us,” said defence counsel H M Saraswat.
