Salman Khan’s troubles increase again: New twist in the black buck hunting case, now the big hearing will be held on July 28

 Salman Khan’s Legal Troubles Resurface: A 27-Year-Old Case Returns to Court- This article delves into the ongoing legal battle faced by Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, focusing on the recent developments in a decades-old blackbuck poaching case.

The Blackbuck Poaching Case: A 27-Year Saga- The 1998 blackbuck poaching case, involving Salman Khan and several others, including Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Neelam, Sonali Bendre, and local politician Dushyant Singh, has taken another twist. Despite being a nearly three-decade-old case, it continues to make headlines. The Rajasthan High Court recently scheduled another hearing, highlighting the case’s protracted nature and its ongoing impact on the lives of those involved. The complexities of the case, including multiple appeals and legal challenges, have prolonged the legal proceedings significantly. The sheer length of the legal process is a testament to the challenges faced in bringing such a high-profile case to a conclusion.

High Court Hearing and Appeals- On May 16, 2025, the Rajasthan High Court conducted a crucial hearing, considering appeals filed by the government and the Bishnoi community. Justice Manoj Garg presided over the hearing, which included a review of the state government’s ‘leave to appeal’ and an order to consolidate all related cases for a comprehensive investigation. This consolidation aims to streamline the process and hopefully expedite the resolution of this long-standing legal matter. The court’s decision to combine the cases signifies a crucial step towards a potentially quicker resolution of the complex legal issues involved.

Salman Khan and Co-Stars to Appear in Court- Following the High Court’s order, Salman Khan and the other celebrities involved are required to appear in court on July 28, 2025. The court’s intention is to consolidate all related cases, allowing for a simultaneous hearing and hopefully preventing further delays. This move underscores the court’s commitment to ensuring a timely and efficient resolution to the ongoing legal proceedings. The court’s focus on efficiency suggests a desire to bring closure to this long-running case.

Salman Khan’s Previous Conviction and Appeals- Salman Khan was previously convicted in the case and challenged his sentence. While other actors were acquitted, the state government appealed those acquittals. The High Court will now hear both appeals simultaneously, aiming to determine the validity of previous decisions and ensure a fair and consistent judgment for all parties involved. The court’s decision will have significant implications for all those involved in the case.

 The 1998 Incident and Subsequent Legal Battles- The incident dates back to September 1998, during the filming of ‘Hum Saath Saath Hain’. Allegedly, two blackbucks were hunted near Jodhpur’s Kankani village. In April 2018, a lower court found Salman Khan guilty, sentencing him to five years in prison. The acquittal of the other accused, including co-stars and Dushyant Singh, prompted further legal challenges. The incident and its subsequent legal battles have been a constant source of media attention and public interest.

Ongoing Legal Challenges and the July 28 Hearing- Salman Khan faces ongoing legal challenges, including threats from the Bishnoi community. The July 28 hearing is considered crucial, with the potential for significant legal ramifications. The upcoming hearing represents a critical juncture in the long-running legal battle, and the outcome will have far-reaching consequences for all involved.
