The court had found Salman guilty under Section 51 of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. After his conviction, he spent three nights in Jodhpur Central Jail before the district and sessions court granted him bail

Tuesday, District and Sessions Judge (Metropolitan) B.L. Sharma adjourned the hearing till Sep 20. 

Public Prosecutor Ramsukh Sharma said that Salman had not presented himself before the court even once since the hearing began on the appeal. 

"We argued that Salman could not get exemption from his presence always," said Sharma. 

On the other hand, Salman's counsel sought exemption from his presence, saying that it could lead to law and order situation as the actor has a huge fan following.
