Claiming innocence in the arms license case, Bollywood actress Soha Ali Khan has sought a personal hearing before the authorities can proceed against her for obtaining a gun license when underage and "misuse" of the weapon for killing of an endangered black buck.

The district administration on Monday received the reply to its show cause notice to the actress and will be taking a decision on the matter today.




"In her reply, Soha Sultan has said she was not at fault in the incident and requested to be given a personal hearing," Deputy Commissioner Gurgaon Rakesh Gupta said on Tuesday.

The show cause, issued on March 21 and returnable in 15 days, had asked Soha to explain how she got the license when she was under the age 18 and why it should not be cancelled for violation of the Arms Act.

It also asked why her father, former Indian cricket team captain Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, "retainer" of a .12 bore rifle issued on her license, allegedly misused the weapon in connection with the black buck poaching case against him in Jhajjar district of Haryana in 2005.

Soha was issued the license on November 5, 1996, when she was a little over 18 years, in violation of the Arms Act under which only people 21 years or above are eligible for arms licenses, Gupta had earlier said.
