Actor Salman Khan's Arms Act case trial is adjourned till August 19, as actor challenged the lower court's verdict in HC.

Khan has moved to High Court seeking permission to allow them to recall five prosecution witnesses in the court.

Khan's counsellor H M Saraswat said, "The high court had allowed our petition on May 28 staying the trial in the ACJM (Rural) court until the petition was not decided."

"Keeping this in mind, the trial court also deferred the hearing of the case till August 19," he further added.

Government counsel Mahipal Bishnoi said, "But this could not happen on account of the petitions by the defence seeking re-examination of the five prosecution witnesses, first in the trial court itself and then the session court."
