A court here on Monday granted exemption from personal appearance for a day to veteran lyricist Javed Akhtar in a defamation case filed by a lawyer over his alleged remarks against RSS during a television interview. The lawyer, Santosh Dubey, had in Oct 2021, filed a complaint against the lyricist-poet before the metropolitan magistrate court at suburban Mulund for defamation.
