The verdict was pronounced today in two petitions filed by Ranaut seeking transfer of proceedings from the Andheri Magistrate to any other Metropolitan Magistrate.
The reply came in the plea of Ranaut under Section 408 of the CrPC invoking the exclusive jurisdiction of the Sessions Court seeking transfer of proceedings being held before Magistrate RR Khan to any other magistrate.
Akhtar filed his reply to the Ranaut’s plea challenging the CMM order refusing to transfer the defamation complaint of Javed Akhtar from Andheri Magistrate to any other Magistrate
