The superstar's reply to the National Commission for Women's notice to him over the same remark, failed to satisfy the panel, which said it found Salman "not apologetic".
Citing double jeopardy, a procedural defence that forbids a defendant from being tried again on the same (or similar) charges in the same case, the actor had sent a letter to the MSCW through his lawyer that since the matter was being heard by the NCW, it cannot be taken up by the state Commission.
"But we are of the view that our state commission has been conferred with concurrent powers and the case can be heard at both the places simultaneously," MSCW Chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar told reporters in Mumbai.
The Commission has now summoned the actor to appear before it on July 7, she said.

The state panel had sent him a notice asking him to appear before it today and explain his position on the matter.
In Delhi, NCW chairperson Lalitha Kumaramangalam said in his reply Salman was "not apologetic" and that the panel was examining its mandate to deal with such instances and the legalities involved.
"Salman Khan has sent a reply and it is not apologetic in tenor. We now need to decide what we are going to do next. We have to look at both what comes under our mandate and what are the legalities involved...
"We are not going to give out the details of Salman Khan's reply now. We need to first go through it in detail, along with our lawyers. Only then will both his reply and what we are going to do next will be made public," she said.
"The reply has come from his lawyer, which means it is a legal reply. So we can't just reply off the cuff," Kumaramangalam said.
