Sessions Judge U B Hejib was to dictate the order in the court today. However, as the court staff did not turn up due to heavy rains in the metropolis, Salman's lawyer sought adjournment in the case.
As the prosecutor did not object, the court deferred its verdict till June 24.
The judge had fixed June 10 for deciding the appeal after arguments concluded a month ago.

Salman's lawyer also filed written submissions on the appeal and made oral arguments.
Public Prosecutor Shankar Erande, while opposing Salman's appeal, said the magistrate had rightly invoked the charge of culpable homicide as he had committed a serious offence.
