JODHPUR: The Rajasthan high court has rejected actor Salman Khan’s plea against a trial court order allowing four more witnesses in the Arms Act case in connection with the 1998 blackbuck poaching
incident. The examination of these four new witnesses will now begin in the chief judicial magistrate court, Jodhpur district, on Monday. The actor had moved an application in the high court with a plea to quash the order of the lower court, in which the court had allowed the prosecution to summon four witnesses pertaining to the case. Justice Nirmaljeet Kaur had reserved the decision in the matter after hearing the arguments of both the sides. On Friday, justice Kaur upheld the decision passed by CJM Anupama Bijlani on March 3 to be in accordance to the law. The CJM court, in its order had accepted the application by the prosecution and allowed to record the statements of four witnesses, despite the finale argument in the matter was already over. Salman Khan’s counsel Mahesh Bora, while challenging the decision in high court had argued that summoning the fresh witnesses at the time when the finale argument was over was not justified and in accordance to the law. The CBI court has sent chief income tax commissioner, Jodhpur zone, PK Sharma, to 14 days judicial custody on Friday. Sharma was arrested recently after he was caught accepting ` 15 lakh bribe for settling an assessment case. The CBI sleuths produced Sharma before the court on Friday morning after which he was sent to the judicial custody. On Thursday evening, income tax officer Shailendra Bhandari, who was also arrested along with Sharma in the bribery case, was produced before the CBI court. Bhandari too was sent to judicial custody
