The National Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission (NCDRC) has temporarily stayed the execution of bailable warrants against Bollywood actor Salman Khan in a case concerning misleading advertisements for Rajshree Pan Masala. The legal dispute originated from a complaint by Yogendra Singh Badiyal, an advocate and social worker, who accused Khan of promoting a product that is harmful to public health through deceptive advertising featuring 'silver-coated elaichi' (cardamom). Badiyal is seeking a penalty of ₹50 lakh (approximately $60,000 USD) and a permanent ban on the advertisements. The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (DCDRC) in Rajasthan had issued an interim order on January 6, restraining Khan and the manufacturer from continuing the advertisements until a response was filed. However, Badiyal later alleged contempt of court, claiming that advertisements continued to be displayed despite the stay, leading to the issuance of the bailable warrant. Khan's legal team contended that the DCDRC lacked jurisdiction under Section 89 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, arguing that only the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) or an authorized officer could initiate such proceedings.
