Overview
- The Kota District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission directed a state‑authorised agency or FSL to examine the signature on Salman Khan’s power of attorney.
- The court ordered Khan to appear in person on January 20 with relevant documents alongside notary R.C. Choubey, who notarised the filings.
- Advocate Indramohan Singh Honey filed the October 15 complaint alleging a Rajshree Pan Masala ad misleads consumers by promoting “saffron‑infused cardamom.”
- Khan’s November 27 response calls the complaint baseless, argues any action lies with the CCPA, and says the ad promotes silver‑coated cardamom rather than saffron.
- The order cites Section 38(9)(d) of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and Section 73(2) of the Indian Evidence Act; Khan has denied forgery claims, saying his signatures match official IDs.
