BHOPAL: A Bhopal court on Tuesday issued a non-bailable warrant against Aamir Khan after the actor failed to appear thrice before the court to defend himself in a case of 'disrespect' to the national flag.
First class judicial magistrate V S Muwell asked the police to bring the actor to the court on November 7. The judge dismissed his lawyer's explanation that the actor didn't know he had to appear in the court.
The complaint was filed by a local lawyer in August, saying at an event in Indore to promote a car as a brand ambassador for its manufacturer, Khan "dishonoured" the tricolour, which was stuck on top of the car much late after the function was over.
The Supreme Court has cautioned trial courts against issuing non-bailable warrants without verifying the frivolity of complaints. It has also said that an NBW could only be issued if a person fails to honour previous summons and bailable warrants.
Suresh Kanga, who filed the complaint against Khan, said, "The national flag was stuck on top of a car and remained there even when the function got over late in the night. The court admitted my complaint and asked the actor to appear before the court on three occasions. He was even issued warrants twice but did not come."
When Khan's lawyer argued that the actor had not received the previous warrants, the judge said it was not possible that the actor had not known about the developments in the case.
