A detailed copy of the order with reasoning for rejecting the application will be made available later. Ranaut had sought the sessions court to quash the legal proceedings and summons issued by the magistrate's court in suburban Andheri in the defamation complaint lodged against her by Akhtar.
Akhtar had filed the complaint in the magistrate's court last November claiming the actor had made defamatory statements against him in a television interview.
