Salman Khan gets relief in misleading advertisement case

Actor Salman Khan has received relief from the Rajasthan High Court, which has stayed the bailable warrant issued against him by the Jaipur District Consumer Commission-II.

The order was passed by a bench of Justice Anoop Singhi while hearing petitions filed by Khan and others.

With the High Court’s intervention, Khan is no longer required to appear before the Commission on April 13, a date earlier set as a final opportunity, failing which arrest warrants were to be issued.

The Consumer



Commission had issued bailable warrants against Salman Khan on four occasions, though they were not successfully served.

During a recent hearing, the Commission had expressed strong displeasure and warned of stricter action in case of non-compliance.

The case stems from a complaint filed by Yogendra Singh Badiyal, alleging misleading advertisements by Rajshree Pan Masala and its brand ambassador Salman Khan.

The products were promoted as “saffron-infused cardamom” and “saffron-infused pan masala.”
