 Judge refuses to hear Bollywood's Salman Khan's bail plea
The bail plea of jailed Bollywood star Salman Khan was refused by an Indian judge on August 29, Wednesday, a decision lawyers said, was apparently because he had been a prosecution lawyer, in a poaching case involving the actor.
Salman Khan was arrested and sentenced for hunting and killing several animals, listed in the endangered species by the Indian law.
Judge G.K. Vyas refused to hear Salman Khan's petition, and asked it to be listed before another judge.
Details of the judge's decision were not immediately available.
It was also not clear how long the process to find a new judge could take.
Vyas was one of the prosecution lawyers who fought the case on behalf of the forest and animal husbandry department of the western desert state of Rajasthan.
Salman Khan, 41, was arrested on August 25, Saturday, a day after a lower court rejected his appeal against his 2006 conviction for killing endangered animals during hunting trips to the state in 1998.
Salman Khan has been sentenced to a five-year term. |
