Bollywood stars Salman Khan , Tabu and Sonali Bendre on Wednesday got a respite as a court in Jodhpur admitted their criminal revision petition challenging the framing of charges in a Chinkara poaching case in 1998 and issued notices to the Rajasthan government and a forest department official.

The Additional District and Sessions court issued notices to the Government of Rajasthan and a former Assistant Wildlife Conservator of the Forest Department and fixed April 22 for the next hearing when a revision petition for Saif Ali Khan and Neelam would also be presented.

The lawyer representing the actors Hastimal Sarswat argued that the charges were framed without considering the witnesses and material on record after which the court ordered admission of the petition and issued the notices.

Hastimal told the court there were no signatures of witnesses like Mangilal and Sheraram on the FIR, which was allegedly tampered and delayed.

The petition was filed against the order of the Judicial Magistrate, Jodhpur, who framed charges against Salman under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, the Wildlife Protection Act and the Indian Arms Act.

It was initially filed in the court of District and Sessions Judge B S Surana who transferred it to ADJ's court on Monday.

The case relates to hunting of two Chinkara deer at Kankani village in 1998 during the shooting of the film Hum Saath Saath Hain .
