<p>While pronouncing Salman's acquittal, the magistrate said the prosecution could not prove the case of possession and use of fire arms with expired license. In the 102-page order, the court did not find him accused in any of the sections filed against him under the Arms Act.</p>
<p>Hailing the decision, defence counsel Saraswat said the court "admitted our arguments that Khan was framed in this case".<br />Prosecution counsel B S Bhati said that they would appeal against the acquittal in the sessions court after studying the judgement.</p>
