Multi-lingual actor Prakash Rai, on Tuesday, filed a defamation case against Mysuru-Kodagu MP Pratap Simha for making derogatory statements against him.
The actor, along with his lawyer M Mahadevaswamy, submitted an application at the IV Judicial Magistrate First Class court, seeking a compensation of Re 1. The case has been registered under IPC Sections 499, 500 and 503. The court, which received the application, postponed the hearing to March 3.
