Actor seeking to quash criminal defamation proceedings initiated by Javed Akhtar
The Bombay High Court on Wednesday said it will pass an order on September 9 in the plea by actor Kangana Ranaut seeking to quash criminal defamation proceedings by the Metropolitan Magistrate initiated after lyricist Javed Akhtar filed a complaint. A single bench of justice Revati Mohite Dere was hearing a criminal petition by Ms. Ranaut after Mr. Akhtar filed complaint before the Andheri metropolitan magistrate court in March under Section 200 (examination of complainant) of the CrPC. Mr. Akhtar’s complaint was filed under Sections 499 (defamation) and 500 (punishment for defamation) of the IPC. The application mentions an interview given by the actor to a channel in which she made defamatory statements against him with reference to the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput.More Related News
