High Court: Petition is allowed, the order is set aside and remitted back to the magistrate for consideration.

Magistrate to consider matter afresh.

@KanganaTeam

High Court: Having taken note of the order passed by the magistrate, nowhere has he made any reference that he has perused averments in the complaint and whether it amounts to a cognizable offence.

High Court: Magistrate has passed a mechanical order.

High Court: Matter has to be remitted back to the trial court to look into whether averments made in the complainant amount to a cognizable offence.

Before passing the order, the Court read out the tweet by Kangana Ranaut terming farmers supporting Farm Bills as terrorists.

HC : Look at her own twitter. She makes such statements.....Celebrities while making statements must hold their tongue.

Adv Ramesh Naik (Complainant filed private complaint against Kangana for controversial tweets) : I argued the matter for one hour to get matter listed. I have followed all procedures.

Court: You are okay. The Magistrate has not followed procedure or applied his judicial mind
