Actor Salman Khan has been granted relief by the Rajasthan High Court, which has halted the bailable warrant issued against him by the Jaipur District Consumer Commission-II. The High Court’s decision came during a hearing of petitions filed by Khan and others. As a result, Khan is no longer obligated to appear before the Commission on April 13, the previously set date for compliance, failing which arrest warrants would have been issued.
The Consumer Commission had previously issued bailable warrants against Salman Khan on four occasions, which were not served successfully. At a recent hearing, the Commission expressed strong dissatisfaction and cautioned of stricter measures in case of non-compliance. The case originated from a complaint filed by Yogendra Singh Badiyal, alleging deceptive advertising by Rajshree Pan Masala and its brand ambassador Salman Khan.
On January 6, 2026, the Commission had imposed an interim ban on the promotion and advertisement of the products in question, which were marketed as “saffron-infused cardamom” and “saffron-infused pan masala.” Despite the ban, advertisements were reportedly still running on January 9, including billboards in Jaipur, Kota, and other cities, leading the Commission to perceive this as a violation of its directive. The Commission emphasized that celebrity status does not exempt anyone from the law and highlighted that repeated non-appearances despite warrants erode public trust in the legal system.
Senior Advocates R.P. Singh and G.S. Bafna, alongside Advocates Divesh Sharma, Varun Singh, and Shivangshu Naval, represented Rajshree Pan Masala and Salman Khan in the legal proceedings.
