# Salman Khan's Court Drama: Signature Under Scrutiny in Pan Masala Case! **Imagine Bollywood's **Bhai** Salman Khan facing a courtroom showdown—not for a blockbuster fight scene, but over a questionable signature on pan masala ads.** That's the explosive twist unfolding in a Kota consumer court, where the superstar has been summoned to appear in person on January 20.[1][2][3] The case stems from complaints against Rajshree Pan Masala Company for **misleading advertisements** claiming their product contains "cardamom with saffron." BJP leader and advocate Indramohan Singh Honey filed the petition, alleging deception in the promotions featuring Salman Khan.[1][3] What escalated the drama? Honey challenged the authenticity of Salman's signature on the legal documents, noting it didn't match those from his Jodhpur jail records or other court filings. The court agreed, ordering a **forensic examination** by a recognized agency or the state's Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, and the Indian Evidence Act.[1] Salman isn't off the hook yet—he must show up personally with his advocate RC Choubey, who notarized the plea and reply, bringing all relevant documents.[1][2] This isn't just a routine hearing; it's a high-stakes probe that could expose bigger issues in celebrity endorsements for products like pan masala, often scrutinized for health claims and advertising ethics.[3] Fans are buzzing: Is this a genuine signature slip-up, or something more? Salman's massive influence in Bollywood makes every move a headline-grabber, reminding us how stars' endorsements carry real legal weight.[1]
