"Salman personally appeared in the court of the chief judicial magistrate here and furnished a personal bail bond of Rs.50,000 and a surety of Rs 50,000", Hastimal Saraswat, counsel for Salman, told IANS.
The same court had on Feb 17 handed down the prison term and a fine of Rs.5,000 for the poaching of the chinkara at Bhavad village in Jodhpur district in September 1998. The court had then simultaneously given Salman a month to appeal the sentence.
"Judge B.K. Jain verified the receipt of the actor's personal bail bond and the surety and adjourned the hearing in another case of poaching a blackbuck to March 24 on account of my sickness," Saraswat said.
Salman also produced the order of Jodhpur District and Sessions Judge Yashpal Choudhary staying the lower court's sentence till a decision on the appeal filed by the actor March 10 was taken.
The district and sessions court has posted the matter for hearing April 12, Sarswat said.
