Arms Act Case: Jodhpur court rejects Salman's plea of witness re-examination
The case has been booked against Khan under the Arms Act as the licenses of his weapons were found to have been expired.
On April 29, Khan pleaded 'not guilty' before the court.
He had filed for re-examination of five witnesses in the case.
Salman Khan and a few other Bollywood actors were accused of poaching blackbucks, and endangered species, on the midnight of Oct 1-2, 1998 during the shooting of a movie "Hum Saath Saath Hain".
Two blackbucks, were killed on the outskirts of Kankani village near Jodhpur.
Khan is accused of carrying and using illegal arms.
Earlier this month, a session court convicted and sentenced him to jail for five years in connection with the 2002 incident in which his SUV mounted over pavement and ploughed through several persons, killing one and injuring four others.
The court found him guilty of culpable homicide not amounting to murder and held him responsible for drunken driving without having a valid license.
Later, the Bombay High Court suspended his five-year jail sentence and asked him to apply for bail with a bond of Rs. 30,000.
