Rajasthan High Court Stays Consumer Case Against Salman Khan Over ‘Rajshree’ Ad

The Rajasthan High Court stayed proceedings against actor Salman Khan regarding alleged surrogate advertising for Rajshree Pan Masala.

The Court passed the order after Khan challenged a District Commission’s directive that restrained the ads and issued bailable warrants.

The complaint alleged that the "Rajshree Elaichi" campaign was a misleading front for pan masala, violating the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. Khan’s counsel argued the actor only endorsed "silver-coated elaichi" and that the District Commission lacked jurisdiction, as misleading ads fall under the CCPA's domain.

The High Court has now halted the consumer proceedings and the warrants, seeking a response from the complainant by May 12.
