Court to pronounce decision on Salman s bail Saturday (Lead)

Jodhpur April 6 (IANS) Actor Salman Khan has to spend another night in Jodhpur prison after a court here on Friday decided to reserve its order on the actor s bail plea until Saturday.

District and Sessions Court Judge Ravindra Kumar Joshi adjourned the bail hearing in a 1998 blackbuck poaching case in which the Bollywood superstar was convicted on Thursday.

Salman s lawyer Mahesh Bora told reporters that the court has heard the arguments of the defense as well as the prosecution.

"It has been posted for tomorrow (Saturday) " Bora said.

The deferment has dealt a blow to Salman who will now have to stay another night at the Jodhpur Central Jail where he was lodged in barrack Number 1 on Thursday following his conviction.
