The Government Of India is examining a demand for taking back the Padma Shri award conferred on Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan in the wake of a Mumbai court framing charges against him.
RTI activist S C Agrawal had filed a complaint with the Union Home Ministry on March 14 this year, demanding that the actor be stripped of the award. A Mumbai court had framed charges against him for allegedly involving himself in a scuffle in a restaurant.
In response to a subsequent RTI application filed to know the status of his complaint, the Home Ministry has replied to Agrawal that “the matter is under examination”.
43-year-old Khan was conferred with the Padma Shri in 2010 for his contribution in the field of art.
However, recently-framed charges against Khan and two of his friends — Shakeel Ladak and Bilal Amrohi under section 325 (assault) and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code.
It is alleged that Khan had punched on the nose of a South-Africa based businessman and his father-in-law at a Colaba hotel in February 2012.
Khan and his two friends have pleaded not guilty after the metropolitan court in Mumbai read out the charges to them in March this year.

@Sky : True, Salman the way he is carefree and careless has done couple of mistakes he shouldn’t have in the past. But i feel he has finally realized it and there’s no bigger thing than the realization of it. I see him trying very hard to correct the mistakes, after all none of us are born perfect. Even god gives a chance to a person who really wants to improve! He deserves a chance aswell.
Saif is my second fav after Srk……………
Once the award is given ,it should not be take back

@Gafar, Allah forgives His Bandey if they repent. But you will be accountable for backbiting and accusing some people of doing something which you have not witnessed of. Go and repent quickly.
