A court in Jodhpur would announce its judgement on Friday on actor Salman Khan's appeal against a five-year prison term given to him in a poaching case.
District and Session Judge KR Singvi on August 7 had adjourned the proceedings after hearing the arguments by the counsel of Salman and the public prosecutor.
The actor is expected to arrive in Jodhpur this evening, H M Saraswat counsel for Salman said.
The district Police is planning to put up strict security arrangements during the course of court proceedings after getting instruction from the Court administration.
The Court had asked the Police to make special arrangement to manage the OB Vans of the news channels and Salman's fans.
"We are requesting the news channels to park their vans out side the court premises as well as arranging special security arrangements to control the crowd", Hawa Singh Ghumaria, Superintendent of Police, said.
Chief Judicial Magistrate Brijendra Kumar Jain had on April 10 last year convicted Salman in the poaching case and sentenced him to five years imprisonment. The court had also imposed a fine of Rs. 25,000 on him. Salman has filed the appeal against the verdict.
The case relates to the poaching of two blackbucks at Ujiyala Bhakhar near Ghoda Farm on September 28, 1998 during the shoot of Hindi feature film Hum Saath Saath Hain.
Salman has also been sentenced to one-year imprisonment in another poaching case of Bhawad and has filed an appeal against that decision also. But the hearing has not started as the record is pending with the Rajasthan High court where the state government filed an appeal for enhancement of the sentence.
