Senior advocate Maninder Singh from the Supreme Court concluded his arguments on Monday, while the advocate general submitted that the state has initiated the process of engaging senior advocates to defend the case on their behalf. The bench observed that the state had sufficient time to engage counsel to defend the state. In a separate development, the office of the chief electoral officer has forwarded a complaint regarding alleged derogatory remarks against BJP candidate Kangana Ranaut on social media platforms to the Election Commission of India.
