Salman Khan gets court permission to travel abroad

TIMES NEWS NETWORK   18.04.2018

Jodhpur: Bollywood actor Salman Khan was permitted to travel abroad for his professional assignments by the district and sessions court of Jodhpur on Tuesday. He will, however, have to keep the court informed about his locations and itinerary. Salman’s counsel Mahesh Bora had moved the court seeking its permission to allow the actor to go to three countries — Nepal, USA and Canada — for some promotional events. Earlier this month, the same court had suspended Salman’s sentence in a blackbuck poaching case and granted him bail with a rider that he won’t leave the country without the court’s permission.

“The court on Tuesday granted Salman permission to tour Nepal, Canada and USA on dates between May 25 and July 10,” Bora told TOI. The court has directed the actor to keep it abreast of the date of leaving the country and the number of days he would stay in a particular country with the location of travelling and stay.

On April 5, a trial court in Jodhpur had convicted Salman for poaching two blackbucks in 1998. On the actor’s appeal for bail, the district and sessions court suspended his sentence on April 7, while putting restrictions on him against travelling abroad. “In adherence to the court directions, Salman sought permission to tour the three countries on some promotional events in different cities,” Bora said.

The prosecution, however, protested and argued that he had already been provided relief in terms of suspension of sentence and release on bail. “Besides this, Salman has to make an appearance before the court on May 7 when the first hearing on the appeal against his conviction is to begin. On these grounds, we argued that the actor should not be provided further relief,” said Mahipal Bishnoi, counsel for the Bishnoi community which has been a party to the case.
