The actor had filed a transfer petition last month, saying that she had “lost faith” in the Andheri metropolitan magistrate’s court.

The additional chief metropolitan magistrate court here has held that the , which is presiding over the defamation case filed by lyricist Javed Akhtar against , has acted “judiciously” and did not show any bias against the actor.
