Khan will remain present in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate (Jodhpur district) on Wednesday, where the verdict of the case against him for alleged use and possession of fire arms with expired license will be pronounced.
According to the prosecution counsel Bhawani Singh Bhati, the arguments in the case had been completed on January 9 in the trial court and the order had been reserved by the magistrate to be pronounced on January 18.
