Indian actor Salman Khan moves the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) after the Jaipur District Consumer Commission issued bailable warrants against him in a case over his endorsement of “Rajshree Elaichi.”

The Sultan actor alleged that the district commission acted unfairly in the proceedings and claimed that the orders were not properly served to him.

Senior Advocate Ravi Prakash, appearing on Khan’s behalf, stated that certified copies of the orders were never delivered to the actor, despite media reports circulating the same orders. The plea emphasized that coercive measures were taken even though Khan did not receive official notification.

The complaint originated in December 2025, when advocate Yogendra Singh Badiyal filed against Rajshree Pan Masala and Khan, alleging that the advertisements for “Rajshree Elaichi” served as surrogate promotions for pan masala and amounted to misleading advertising under the Consumer Protection Act.

On January 6, 2026, the district commission passed an interim order to stop misleading advertisements until a reply was filed. Khan’s team argued that the order was passed ex parte without notice to him.

Later, when a hoarding featuring the actor appeared, the complainant claimed the interim order was violated, leading to a contempt application. On January 15, 2026, the district commission issued bailable warrants against Khan in connection with the proceedings.

The Tiger Zinda Hai actor challenged the decision before the Rajasthan State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, but the State Commission dismissed his appeal on March 16, 2026, upholding the district commission’s order.

Khan’s counsel also raised concerns that the district commission directed the formation of a Special Task Force to secure the actor’s presence, calling it an unusual measure in consumer proceedings.

The NCDRC took note of the concerns regarding the non-service of certified copies while appearing in media reports but observed that its jurisdiction is limited by law.
