Javed Akhtar filed the criminal complaint against Kangana Ranaut in November last year for allegedly making defamatory comments against him in an interview given to journalist Arnab Goswami
The Bombay High Court on Thursday dismissed the plea filed by actor Kangana Ranaut seeking quashing of the criminal defamation proceedings initiated against her by a court here based on lyricist Javed Akhtar's complaint. High court judge, Justice Revati Mohite Dere, who had on September 1 reserved her order on the plea, said the applicant's (Ms. Ranaut's) petition "stands dismissed". Ms. Ranaut, through her counsel Rizwan Siddiquee, had challenged the defamation proceedings that were initiated by the Andheri Metropolitan Magistrate's court earlier this year, saying that the court had failed to apply its mind to the case.More Related News
