Jodhpur, January 18: In a very important judgement, the sessions court of Jodhpur, will today pronounce its judgement on the long-standing Arms act case against Bollywood superstar, Salman Khan.
The case was lodged against the actor in October 1998, when he was caught possessing as well as using, arms with expired licences to poach two blackbucks in the Kankani village of Jodhpur.
