Two lower courts have permitted actor Salman Khan to go abroad from September 26-30 for the shooting of David Dhawan's film Partner in Bangkok.

Salman's counsel Hastimal Saraswat in the Kankani Black Buck poaching case had petitioned that the actor be permitted to go to Bangkok for the film shooting from September 26-30 before Magistrate Govardhan Singh Surana at the District and Sessions court and also before Judicial Magistrate Dalpat Singh Purohit.

Both the courts permitted Salman to proceed for shooting but asked him to inform the courts about his return to India.

These two courts had permitted Salman to go abroad from September 14-24. The district and Sessions Court would hold the hearings of the appeal petitions filed against the punishment verdicts of two poaching cases on September 25.

So as a rule Salman will have to be present in person in the court on September 25 while his appeals are being heard. The courts said he could go abroad after that. While giving a new twist to 1998 poaching case for which Bollywood star Salman Khan was sentenced to five years in prison, a key witness told that he had been pressurised to make a statement that he had seen the actor killing an endangered chinkara.

"I was made to say these things. The forest department officials and police made me make the statement. They pressured my father...and my father said I should do as these officials wanted or else I would face problems," said Harish Dulani, who drove the vehicle that was used by Salman.

Dulani was found guilty of turning hostile by the same court that convicted Salman for killing the chinkara. Dulani had turned hostile in 2001 and has been absconding since then.

The Jodhpur court convicted Salman in April and sentenced him to five years' rigorous imprisonment for poaching a chinkara in the Ghoda Farm area in 1998 while he was shooting for the movie Hum Saath Saath Hai.

In February, the same court had convicted the star in a separate case for poaching two blackbucks in 1998 and sentenced him to rigorous imprisonment for a year.
