Ranaut Defamation Case: High Court Rejects Actress’ Plea
The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Friday, August 1, 2025, dismissed Kangana Ranaut’s petition seeking the quashing of a defamation case filed against her. The case originates from a tweet.
The tweet allegedly linked a Bathinda-based elderly woman protester to the Shaheen Bagh protests. The court deemed the allegations false and defamatory.
The High Court found no merit in Ranaut’s arguments for dismissing the complaint. The case will now proceed as per legal procedure.
This ruling underscores the importance of responsible social media usage. The case serves as a cautionary tale for public figures, highlighting the legal ramifications of unsubstantiated accusations and online defamation. The impact on the elderly woman’s reputation and the broader implications for social harmony remain significant concerns.
