The Gujarat High Court has granted an interim stay on criminal proceedings against Shah Rukh Khan. The case pertains to a promotional incident gone wrong at the Vadodara Railway station that left one man dead, and several injured. The actor was promoting his Raees at the time.
The actor was granted relief by a bench comprising Chief Justice R Subhash Reddy and Justice V M Pancholi, which also stayed the Vadodara court summons to him.
