Gujarat forest department has decided to send a fresh notice to actor Aamir Khan as he failed to come for questioning today on the summons issued for alleged violation of law in filming endangered species Chinkara, officials said.

Khan was summoned for questioning as he, as a producer of movie "Laggan" eight years ago in Kutch, had not taken permission from the forest department for filming endangered species (chinkara).

"Aamir Khan was not present today. We have decided to send another notice to him to remain present for questioning," V T Korvadia, Deputy Conservator of Forest, Kutch, who is investigating the matter, said.

Khan's lawyer Nirav Shah came and gave the reason why his client could not be present today, Korvadia said declining to divulge the reason for the actor's absence.

Meanwhile, forest officials today recorded the statement of executive producer of "Laggan" Srinivas Rao who was also summoned, Korvadia said.

He, however, refused to give the content of Rao's statement saying investigations are on at present and he cannot give details.

Khan and his team were in parts of Kutch district eight years ago for the shooting of "Lagaan".

Kutch forest officials said preliminary probe has revealed that the producers did not take permission from the forest department to film the Chinkara.
