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 to quash a defamation case filed against her. The case originates from a controversial tweet.
The tweet allegedly linked a Bathinda-based elderly woman to the Shaheen Bagh protests. The court deemed the connection false and disparaging.
The High Court found no merit in Ranaut’s arguments to dismiss the complaint. The case will now proceed to trial.
This ruling underscores the legal consequences of spreading misinformation, especially targeting vulnerable individuals. The case serves as a reminder of responsible social media usage and its potential repercussions. The ongoing trial will closely be watched, particularly regarding the impact of social media statements on public perception and reputation.
