android studio 1.5.0,multidexing with gradle 1.5.0 in android studio

Following are entries in my app build.gradle script

defaultConfig {

applicationId "com.srt.ujn.jsonparsing"

minSdkVersion 16

targetSdkVersion 23

versionCode 1

versionName "1.0"

multiDexEnabled true

testInstrumentationRunner "com.android.test.runner.MultiDexTestRunner"

}

dependencies {

compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')

testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'

compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'

compile 'javax.servlet:servlet-api:2.5'

compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'

androidTestCompile('com.android.support:multidex-instrumentation:1.0.1') {

exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'multidex'

}

I have also copied android-support-multidex.jar to app lib folder and used it as a library.

Following error is generated while running the app

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'.

com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: android/support/multidex/MultiDex$V14.class

As i had learned somewhere that u need not add dependencies explicitly so i removed the following lines

compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'

androidTestCompile('com.android.support:multidex-instrumentation:1.0.1') {

exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'multidex'

}

But it did not worked and same error was generated.

Can someone help, thanks in advance
