Salman Khan moves to The High Court seeking quashing of contempt case

Superstar Salman Khan has filed an appeal in the High Court to quash the complaint filed against him in the Magistrates Court, which wants contempt action for posting court orders in cases against him on his website. He has appealed that the website was created by him to ensure that no incorrect reporting was done by the media.

According to sources, a Magistrate at Bandra Court in Mumbai had issued summons to the actor on July, 10 this year following a complaint filed by activist Hemant Patil alleging contempt of court action against Salman for allegedly posting court proceedings on his website –www.salmankhanfiles.com. He said that by posting court matters on the website, the actor had committed contempt of court as the matters were subjudice.

Mr. Khan however, pleaded in his petition that he had created a website only to gave factual information about his cases and nothing beyond that. He further said that no contempt had been committed by him. His petition is expected to come up for hearing tomorrow before Justice KU Chandiwal.
