The superstar was granted the relief by a bench of Chief Justice R Subhash Reddy and Justice V M Pancholi, which also stayed the Vadodara court summons to him, seeking his presence before it on July 23 to answer the charges of his culpability in the case.
Khan's lawyer appraised the court of the case and pleaded that he was not responsible for the ruckus that was created at the Vadodara railway station on January 23 upon the arrival of the August Kranti Express on which he was travelling to promote the movie.
The ruckus at platform had left one Fahreed Khan Pathan. a Vadodara resident dead and several others injured, besides causing damages to the railway property.
A Vadodara court had issued summons to Khan last week on the plea of a local resident Jitendra Solanki seeking its direction to the police to lodge an FIR against the superstar.

Solanki had earlier approached the police for lodging of an FIR against Khan under sections 336, 337 and 338 of the Indian Penal Code, for allegedly committing acts endangering life or personal safety of others and causing simple and grievous hurts to them by such acts, but the police had refused to lodge FIR on his complaint.
The high court had earlier stayed another summons issued to Khan by the Government Railway Police in connection with the same case.
The GRP had asked him to come its office and record his statement.
The lawyer for the actor had then argued that such summons could not be issued against a person who was not staying within the jurisdiction of the police station.
