The Andheri metropolitan magistrate's court issued a summons to Ranaut on February 1, directing her to appear before it on March 1. 

However, Ranaut failed to appear on Monday following which the court issued a bailable warrant against her. 

The court posted the matter for further hearing on March 22. 

Last month, the police submitted a report saying an offence of defamation was made out against the actor. 

Akhtar had filed the complaint against Ranaut for allegedly making baseless and false statements against him which, according to him, damaged his reputation.
