Rajasthan panel stays arrest warrant against Salman Khan 'Pan Masala Case'

The Rajasthan Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission on Friday stayed the issuance of a non-bailable warrant against actor Salman Khan by the district consumer commission in a case of misleading advertisement.

The state commission on Friday heard revision petitions filed by a pan masala company and Khan.

Separately, the presiding officer of the District Consumer Commission, Jaipur-II, heard a contempt petition filed by Yogendra Singh.

Khan’s counsel told the state commission that the District Consumer Commission, Jaipur-II, had issued a bailable warrant



without serving summons, and was now proceeding to issue a non-bailable warrant.

The counsel said an application seeking cancellation of the bailable warrant is also pending before the commission.

Taking note of this, the state commission directed the district commission to hear the pending application expeditiously and restrained it from issuing a non-bailable warrant until the bailable warrant is executed.

District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Jaipur-II, had issued a bailable warrant against the actor and directed him to appear on February 6.
