Jaipur: A Jodhpur court on Monday issued a show-cause notice to actor Salman Khan for allegedly misleading it regarding a gun license.
Judicial Magistrate Dalpat Singh Rajpurohit, who is hearing poaching cases filed against Salman, directed him to file a reply on July 10.
The directive came after the prosecution told the court that Salman had earlier stated before it that his firearms license was "misplaced" whereas it was lying with the Mumbai Police.
The court also allowed the prosecution plea filed on June 19 for placing 26 new documents on record against the actor relating to the Arms Act.
These were taken on record on Monday, Hastimal Saraswat, Salman's counsel said.
However, the court said that allowing the application did not mean that the evidential value of the documents would be taken as proved.
The prosecution also filed an application to amend the charges against Salman.
The court had framed charges against the actor for illegal possession of weapons on October 1 and 2, 1998.
However, the prosecution on Monday urged that Salman must be charged for possessing illegal weapons also from August 28 to September 3, 1998.
The court will issue an order on this application on July 3.
The court earlier this year had convicted and sentenced Salman in two cases relating to hunting black bucks and chinkaras (species of gazelle) in Bhavad village and Ghoda farms in Jodhpur in September-October 1998.
A case in connection with the killing of two black bucks in Kankani village of the district on the night of October 1, 1998 is pending against the actor.
