The blackbuck poaching case in which
Salman Khan was pronounced guilty but
his fellow actors including Saif Ali Khan,
Tabu, Neelam, Sonali Bendre, and
Dushyant Singh were acquitted is far
from over. The Rajasthan government
will be appealing against the acquittal of
these actors and Singh who is a resident
of Jodhpur in the blackbuck poaching
case that dates back to 1998. The five
accused were acquitted by the court of
the chief judicial magistrate (Jodhpur
Rural) in April this year but looks like
their troubles are far from over.
The Court in its judgment on April 5,
found only Salman guilty of killing two
blackbucks in Kankani village, near
Jodhpur. The incident occurred on
October 1998 when the actors were
filming Sooraj Barjatya's Hum Saath Saath
Hain. Salman was sentenced to five years
imprisonment along with a monetary
fine of Rs 10,000. However, he is out on
bail. Previously the actor was also barred
from travelling abroad but now that
order has been lifted.

longer needed to seek permission from
Court to travel abroad
A leading daily quoted the additional
advocate general SK Vyas, "A few days
back, we received the sanction from the
state government to appeal against the
acquittal of Khan, Tabu, Neelam, Bendre,
and Singh. After the verdict, the public
prosecutor of the trial court had given
his opinion to the law department
whether an appeal should be filed. The
law department and the state
government considered all the facts and
they have given sanction for filing an
appeal. The sanction came recently and
we will be filing the appeal at the
Rajasthan High Court.
Apparently, the officials have also asked
that along with the four actors, the
appeal will request that Dinesh Gawre
who was also charged in the case but
has been absconding for a long time be
tried as an accused in the blackbuck
poaching case.

Indian law confuses me. How can they be tried more than once if acquitted? How many times can that happen?

Edit: I just looked up double jeopardy laws in India 😕. Maybe if the prosecution was held to a higher standard, the system would work better (and faster). What do they have to fear from going wrong? Acquittal, no prob we'll just retry. Job security isn't it, when the cases never end.

this is not double jeopardy. government is planning to go for an appeal over a lower courts decision.

courts has a certain heirarchy system.
magistrate court
sessions court
high court
supreme court which is the apex court.

While I admire that you care for Sonali ji , you must agree that what she must be tried for the crime she has been accused of

No, double jeopardy is legal in India only double punishment is not allowed probably inherited from the old English system. A defendant is in legal jeopardy every time he faces conviction. At each juncture the defendant faces jeopardy and the court gets the opportunity to convict so no it's not only double jeopardy it's multi jeopardy if he can keep getting tried by higher and higher courts. The only time any American court can retry an acquitted defendant (for the same crime) is if the first trial was flawed in such a way that the defendant was never truly in any legal jeopardy (like he bribed the judge in a bench jury). It is set up that way because the English used to essentially harass American colonists with repeated politically motivated prosecutions - and I'd have thought they'd have done the same to Indians but I guess Indians are cool with it. Now even UK courts have reformed. Scottish law is similar to America and even in England the court isn't allowed to retry unless substantial new evidence, unknown to the prosecution at the time of the first trial, comes to light.
