Mumbai Court gives Kangana Ranaut 'one last chance' before issuing non-bailable warrant in Javed Akhtar defamation case

A Mumbai court on Tuesday granted actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut 'one last chance' before issuing a non-bailable warrant against her in a long-standing defamation case filed by Bollywood lyricist Javed Akhtar.

According to reports, Ranaut was absent from the scheduled session meant to resolve the dispute. Her advocate, Rizwan Siddiquee, informed the Bandra court that she was unable to attend due to her 'parliamentary commitments'. However, advocate Jay K Bhardwaj, representing Akhtar, filed an application requesting a non-bailable warrant against the actor, citing her 'repeated absences from nearly 40 key court dates'.
