Bombay Court Refuses Exemption In Defamation Case Against Kangana Ranaut

In a set-back to Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut, a local Bombay court refused to grant her permanent exemption from appearing before the court. Metropolitan court judge RR Khan said,  "Admittedly, the accused cannot claim permanent exemption as of right. The accused has to follow the established procedure of law and terms and conditions of her bail bonds". Notably, lyricist Javed Akhtar had filed a defamation case against Raut in 2020
