“The Bombay High Court on Thursday dismissed a plea filed by actor Kangana Ranaut, seeking quashing of criminal defamation proceedings, initiated by a Magistrate Court against her, following a complaint by lyricist Javed Akhtar in 2020. In his complaint, Akhtar had alleged that Ranaut had made defamatory statements on national and international television, āin what appears to be a clear campaign to malign and tarnish (Akhtar) in the eyes of the general publicā. After the Magistrate Court in Andheri began proceedings against Ranaut in February and issued a bailable warrant in March, the actor appeared before the court and applied for bail, which was granted to her.
