Pleading guilty, actor Shahrukh Khan today sought exemption from personal appearance in a Jaipur court in a case related to smoking in public at a local stadium during an IPL match and expressed his willingness to pay fine. 

Khan, co-owner of Kolkata Knight Riders, was summoned by the court of the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate on a complaint that he was seen smoking on April 8 during a match between his team and Rajasthan Royals. 

Khan's counsel V R Bajva represented him in the ACJM court and pleaded guilty on his behalf. 

He said the matter was a "petty affair" and moved an application seeking exemption from personal presence of his client in the case, but the same was objected to by the counsel of the petitioner. 

After hearing both the sides, Magistrate Shilpa Sameer posted the matter for June 21. Khan is not required to remain present for the next hearing.
