Additional district and sessions judge Amar Chand Singhal rejected Shah's bail application after hearing arguements from both the sides.

Additional public prosecutor Shanta Oza submitted that Shah was the main abetter in shooting of black bucks and chinkara at Mathania in Jodhpur district as he provided a gun to Salman Khan with the instructions that in case his shots went off the mark he should flood the eyes of chinkaras with light in order to prevent their escape.

According to prosecution at Mathania police station two cases were registered of shooting black bucks and Chinkara on October 11 in which 13 people, including Salman Khan and Satish Shah, were named.

In this connection, Khan was arrested and after remaining in jail for one day he was released on bail. However, Shah could not be apprehended ashe was found absconding from his house at Mumbai.

Yesterday Justice B J Sethna of the Rajasthan High Court allowed the interim bail application of Pratap Singh and Tulja Raj Angre and also allowed the bail application of Kulzeep Singh Chaudhary, who was in judicial custody.
