He said the ground for not appearing on Friday was his engagement in a film's shooting.
Salman's counsel Hastimal Saraswat said the actor could not appear before the court due to his pre-scheduled shooting plans.
Disposing of a state government plea against a sessions court order dropping some of the charges against the accused, the high court has held that Khan will be charged under Section 51 of Wildlife Act and Section 149 of IPC (Unlawful assembly), said Hastimal Saraswat, counsel for Salman Khan.
The actor, who is facing trial in the case of poaching and a case under the Arms Act, would have to submit his passport to the court on his return.
The court, however, said that the actor could go abroad on the condition that after his return to the country he would physically present himself before the trial court in Jodhpur.
A local court in Jodhpur deferred the judgement in the Arms Act case against Bollywood actor Salman Khan related to the 1998 black buck poaching incident, saying four pending applications from the prosecution have come to light on which it will decide on March 3.
How many such cases are there against Salman Khan? What is their status?
