A sessions court here on Wednesday rejected Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut's application seeking transfer of the defamation case filed against her by lyricist Javed Akhtar from the magistrate's court in suburban Andheri.

The court also refused to transfer her counter- complaint against Akhtar, filed before the Andheri court, elsewhere. The detailed order passed by second additional principal and sessions judge (Dindoshi) S S Oza was not available immediately.
