Chinkara filming case: Guj HC adjourns hearing on Aamir's plea

The Gujarat High Court today adjourned the hearing on a petition filed by Bollywood actor and producer Aamir Khan and four others in a case related to alleged filming of chinkara, a protected animal, during the shooting for his 2000 blockbuster `Lagaan'. Justice R D Kothari posted the matter for next hearing on February 20 as Additional Advocate General P K Jani, representing Gujarat government, sought time. The High Court had, on June 27 last year, initiated final hearing on Aamir's petition filed in April 2008. The petition seeks quashing of proceedings started by a judicial magistrate in Bhuj district against Khan and four others for breach of Wildlife Protection Act.
