Court set to hear Salman Khan's appeal against five-year prison sentence in the blackbuck poaching case on THIS date
has been in trouble with regards to the
blackbuck poaching case
which has been going on since many years now. As per the latest update in the matter, it is now confirmed that the court is set to hear the actor's appeal now against his five year prison sentence.
A trial court held Salman Khan guilty on April 5, 2018, and sentenced him to five years in prison, while acquitting co-accused actors and local resident Dushyant Singh.
Justice Manoj Kumar Garg is set to preside over the hearing, which will also include the Rajasthan Government's plea seeking permission to challenge the acquittal of Khan's co-accused — Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Sonali Bendre, and Neelam. Both matters, which had been pending for years, will now be heard together.
Prosecution lawyer Mahipal Bishnoi explained, 'Salman Khan's lawyers had earlier filed a transfer petition in the high court against his sentence from the district and session court, so that the appeal filed against him could be clubbed with the appeal filed by the state government."
For those not in the know, this case goes back to September 1998 during the filming of 'Hum Saath Saath Hain', when Salman Khan was accused of hunting protected Chinkara deer near Jodhpur, in an area called Bawad in Mathania.

The complaint was filed by members of the Bishnoi community, who consider blackbucks sacred, believing them to be the reincarnation of their spiritual leader, Bhagwan Jambeshwar, also known as Jambaji.
Following his arrest the same year, Khan was released on bail. In July 2016, the
Rajasthan High Court
acquitted him, stating that there was insufficient evidence to prove the allegations. However, the state later challenged this acquittal in the Supreme Court.
In 2023, for the first time, Salman Khan publicly addressed the case during his appearance on India TV's Aap Ki Adalat. Expressing his faith in the legal process, he said, 'I don't know what this is. I seriously don't know. Our judiciary is very capable. It will decide. Our judges will decide. Whatever the decision will be, we will accept it. Bring it on.'
Lawrence Bishnoi has been giving death threats to Salman Khan due to this blackbuck case for many years now.

'Dhadak 2' Box Office collection day 4: Siddhant Chaturvedi-Triptii Dimri's film earns just Rs 1.4 crore on Monday; faces heat from ‘Mahavatar Narsimha' and Ajay Devgn's ‘Son of Sardaar 2'
Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri teamed up for 'Dhadak 2', a film that had all the right ingredients, powerful performances, a meaningful message, and mostly decent reviews. Directed by Shazia Iqbal, this Hindi remake of the Tamil film 'Pariyerum Perumal' was expected to make waves at the box office. But four days in, the numbers tell a different story. Dhadak 2 Movie Review A promising weekend, but a worrying Monday After a fair start on Friday, the film managed to grow over the weekend. 'Dhadak 2' opened with Rs 3.5 crore on Day 1, followed by Rs 3.75 crore on Saturday, and peaked on Sunday with Rs 4.15 crore, its best day yet. However, the real test came on Monday, and unfortunately, the film stumbled. Early estimates suggest that 'Dhadak 2' collected only Rs 1.40 crore on Day 4, taking its total box office collection to Rs 12.80 crore. Although a drop is normal on Mondays, this sharp fall has raised concerns about the film's long-term performance, especially since it didn't see a major jump even during the weekend. Facing a tough crowd at the box office One major reason behind 'Dhadak 2''s struggle could be the strong competition it is up against. The film released alongside Ajay Devgn 's 'Son of Sardaar 2', which performed better with Rs 2.50 crore on Monday, and a four-day total of Rs 27.25 crore. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Salatiga: New Container Houses – Take A Look At The Prices! Container homes | Search ads Learn More Undo Another strong contender is 'Mahavatar Narsimha', which made a solid Rs 8 crore on Monday. And then there's 'Saiyaara', a clear crowd favourite that continues to draw audiences, earning Rs 2.5 crore on Monday alone. With such big titles in theatres, 'Dhadak 2' is struggling to hold its ground and attract footfalls. A new story, not a direct sequel While the film is titled 'Dhadak 2', it is not a continuation of the 2018 film 'Dhadak'. Instead, it stands alone with a fresh storyline and characters. The plot follows a law student who falls in love with his classmate. But things take a dark turn when her family begins to harass him due to caste differences. The film tries to tackle social injustice through a love story. Day 4 occupancy 'Dhadak 2' saw modest theatre attendance on Monday, with an overall Hindi occupancy of 14.26%, as per early data. The film struggled to fill seats in the morning with just 8.36%, but witnessed a slight improvement as the day progressed, 15.30% in the afternoon, 14.59% in the evening, and 18.80% during night shows. Box office performance so far Day 1 (Friday): Rs 3.5 crore Day 2 (Saturday): Rs 3.75 crore Day 3 (Sunday): Rs 4.15 crore Day 4 (Monday): Rs 1.40 crore (early estimates) Total (4 days): Rs 12.80 crore Will the film bounce back? The big question now is whether 'Dhadak 2' can pick up pace again. With just Rs 1.40 crore collected on Day 4, the chances of it reaching a big milestone soon look slim unless something changes mid-week. It's not impossible, but for that to happen, the film will need to gain a stronger hold at the box office, especially in the face of heavy competition.

Josh Allen brings joy to training camp with special cheer from young Oishei Children's Hospital champion
Jo0sh Allen at Bills camp (Imagn Images) The Buffalo Bills wrapped up Day 10 of training camp at St. John Fisher University on August 4 with plenty of on-field excitement, despite multiple wide receivers being sidelined by injuries. But it wasn't just Josh Allen's precision passes that captured attention. While the star quarterback continued to impress fans with his arm strength and leadership, it was a surprise reunion with two very special kids that truly stole the show. Josh Allen lights up Bills camp with heartwarming surprise from two special young fans Even with limited receiver options, Allen made magic happen on the field. He delivered a deep strike to Tyrell Shavers and launched a laser to rookie wideout Keon Coleman, connecting for a touchdown that sent the crowd into a frenzy. Still, fans may have to wait a bit longer to see him in full game action. When asked if Allen will play during the Bills' preseason opener against the New York Giants on August 9, head coach Sean McDermott said, 'Still working through that. We'll see where that goes.' But if Allen's playing status was uncertain, his emotional connection with the fans—especially the youngest ones—was crystal clear. After every practice, Allen is typically swarmed by fans hoping for a selfie or autograph. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Although time limits prevent him from reaching everyone, he always tries to prioritize children.
