once again may land in serious legal trouble following his dabangg (fearless attitude) style. The actor along with three other personalities from film world failed to appear before a court in

in connection with 1998 Blackbuck poaching case.

However, Hastimal Saraswat, Salman's lawyer, informed the court that the actor could not turn up following his pre-scheduled shooting plans. The court hearing has been adjourned till Mar 23.
