In a setback to Kangana Ranaut, the Mumbai sessions court has dismissed the plea filed by actress seeking transfer of proceedings in a defamation case filed by lyricist Javed Akhtar from the court at Andheri to any other Magistrate.

According to Bar and Bench, Kangana in her plea had stated that Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM), who dismissed her transfer plea, failed to appreciate that the Andheri Metropolitan Magistrate RR Khan (who is hearing Akhtar's complaint) wanted to intentionally cause her an injury by misusing his power.
