A sessions court on Wednesday rejected Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut's application seeking transfer of the defamation case filed against her by lyricist Javed Akhtar from the magistrate's court in suburban Andheri. The court also refused to transfer her counter-complaint against Akhtar, filed before the Andheri court, elsewhere.
The detailed order passed by the second additional principal and sessions judge (Dindoshi) S S Oza was not available immediately.
Ranaut had claimed in her application that the 10th Metropolitan Magistrate's Court (Andheri) showed "bias and prejudice towards her" by not granting her permanent exemption from appearance, and threatened to issue an arrest warrant against her for a "bailable and non-cognizable offense."
