Agra, Apr 21 Actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut on Tuesday moved an application in an MP-MLA court here, seeking deferment of the verdict scheduled for April 30 in the farmer protest case in which she is an accused.
According to her lawyer, Anusuya Chaudhary, the application alleges that the complainant was given "undue opportunity" by the court and seeks adequate time for the defence, along with a request to postpone the pronouncement of judgment.
The complainant, advocate Ramashankar Sharma, said the hearing in the matter is already concluded, with final arguments heard on April 3.
The court had initially fixed April 16 for the pronouncement of judgement, but later deferred it to April 30 after certain documents related to the case were submitted.
On Tuesday, the defence moved the application contending that since an extra opportunity had been granted to the complainant, a similar time should be provided to the accused before the verdict is delivered.
The case pertains to remarks made by Ranaut during the farmers' protest, following which Sharma filed a complaint in the MP-MLA court in Agra.
