The Kota District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission has ordered a forensic examination of actor Salman Khan`s signature in connection with a case related to a pan masala advertisement. The court has also asked the actor to appear in person on January 20, along with the relevant documents and the notary concerned.

Salman Khan asked to appear before court

The court passed the order after the complainant, BJP leader and advocate Indramohan Singh Honey, raised concerns about the authenticity of Salman Khan`s signature on the power of attorney as well as the reply submitted before the court. The complainant asked for a forensic verification of the signatures, claiming discrepancies. The consumer court accepted the objection and directed that the signature be inspected by a state-authorised as well as recognised agency or a Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL).
