Trouble again! Supreme Court admits Rajasthan Govt’s appeal in Salman Khan’s poaching case

Salman Khan and his family heaved a sigh of relief when the star was acquitted in Chinkara poaching case by the High Court. But a recent update on this states that the case has now reached the Supreme Court. The Rajasthan Government had challenged Salman’s acquittal in Supreme Court and today, the apex court has admitted to the appeal of the Rajasthan Government.

Salman Khan has now been issued a notice by Supreme Court. Additional Advocate General Shiv Mangal Sharma said, “The Rajasthan government has filed a Special Leave Petition (SLP) in the apex court saying the High Court has erroneously exercised its revisional powers to set aside concurrent findings of lower court which convicted Salman for 5 years and the judgement suffers from legal infirmities. Salman’s conviction was based on material evidence which High Court has turned down on hyper technical issues which is unsustainable.”
