A court in the Indian industrial city of Mumbai has rejected a request to transfer the case of actress Kangana Ranaut in a case filed by renowned poet Javed Akhtar.
According to India Today, the Sessions Court has rejected two petitions of Kangana Ranaut. In a petition, the actress had said that the case filed against her by Javed Akhtar should be handed over to another magistrate instead of Andheri Magistrate. The second petition was filed by Kangana Ranaut against Javed Akhtar.
Additional Sessions Judge SM Bhosle on Wednesday dismissed both the petitions. Kangana Ranaut had alleged in her petition that the Andheri magistrate had tried to tarnish her reputation during the hearing of the case.
It may be recalled that well-known Indian poet Javed Akhtar has filed a defamation suit against actress Kangana Ranaut in the court of Mumbai Metropolitan Magistrate. Javed Akhtar has taken a stand that the actress ridiculed him on national television and made baseless comments in his statements on the death of actor Shashant Singh Rajput which damaged his dignity.
