Salman was present in the court through video conferencing, when district and sessions Judge Raghvendra Kachhwal pronounced the order. It acquitted Salman of the charge Thursday.
This is the second time the Bharat star has been freed from the allegation. Earlier, the court of the chief judicial magistrate had also absolved him of the charge. Then the Rajasthan government had challenged the decision in the district and sessions court.
Salman had filed the affidavit in the court in 2003 stating that he had lost his arms licence.
The public prosecutor contended that it was an act of misleading the court purposefully. He said that Salman knew that his licence was not lost. However, Judge Kachhwal rejected his arguments and provided relief to Salman by absolving him of the allegation.
