The Supreme Court on Friday refused to hear a petition filed by actress and MP Kangana Ranaut seeking to quash the pending criminal defamation case against her related to a controversial tweet she made about a woman participating in the 2020-21 farmers' protests against the now-repealed farm laws. A bench comprising Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta remarked, "What is your opinion about your statement? You added spice. It wouldn't have been a simple retweet," emphasizing that trial courts should decide such matters.Lady Superstar Nayanthara's Surrogacy Journey: Twins Uyir and Ulagam(Ulag) – Cute Family Info Inside

Ranaut had filed the petition in the Punjab and Haryana High Court challenging the pending defamation case in a Bathinda court. She had accused elderly protester Mahinder Kaur of being paid to participate in the agitation, tweeting: "The 'influential grandma' who gained fame in Time magazine is now available for ₹100. Pakistani journalists have hijacked India's international PR (grandma) in an embarrassing way. We need our own people to speak for us internationally."Safari Flip 32L Casual Printed Backpack, 2 Compartments, Bottle Holder, Front Pocket, School Bag for Boys and Girls, College Bag, Office Bag, Travel Bag for Men and Women

However, Ranaut's comments were actually about Bilkis Bano, a participant in the Shaheen Bagh protests, not Kaur. Her lawyers argued that she had issued a clarification, which was not considered. The court, unswayed, declined to comment further on the tweets. "The complaint can be dismissed if evidence is inadmissible. Don't ask us to opine on your tweet—it might prejudice the trial. Withdraw your petition. Do you want to withdraw?" the bench asked. Subsequently, her counsel decided to withdraw the plea.
