Patna, January 13

The district consumer commission in Bihar's Muzaffarpur has asked actor Shah Rukh Khan and prominent footballer Lionel Messi to appear before it on April 12 in a case related to an educational institute.

Khan and Messi are brand ambassadors of the institute against which a case was filed by one Mohammad Shamshad Ahmed.

Complainant's lawyer SK Jha said Ahmed's two sons had taken admission to a course in the institute and also "paid the fees for the period they have studied in the institute. As they were not satisfied with the institute, they left the course. Despite that, the institute issued two loans in different categories and asked Ahmed to repay it".

Subsequently, Ahmed filed a case in the district consumer commission on October 30, 2023 against the institute. During the hearing, a full bench of the commission chaired by Piyush Kamal Dixit served notices to seven people, including the institute's managing director and brand ambassadors Khan and Messi. They were asked to appear before the bench on January 12, 2024.

On Friday, lawyers of Khan and Messi appeared before the commission but failed to furnish the original case documents. Subsequently, the bench asked Khan and Messi to appear before it on the day of next hearing on April 12 with original case documents.
