Delhi/Hyderabad, Aug 14 (Maxim News): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has got a fresh relief in the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has recently quashed the criminal defamation case regarding his comments on Savarkar. The court has quashed the summons issued by the Lucknow magistrate in this case. It has been stated that the state government has not issued prior permission in this case. It is known that the comments made by MP Rahul Gandhi during the Bharat Jodo Yatra were controversial at the time.
Nripendra Pandey tried to file a case objecting to Rahul’s remarks. He approached the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate for registration of a case under Section 153A. However, the ACJM dismissed this petition. The petitioner challenged this judgment in the Sessions Court, which transferred the case back to the magistrate. In this order, the Lucknow Magistrate issued summons to Rahul Gandhi. Challenging the summons, Rahul Gandhi approached the High Court. He requested that the criminal proceedings against him be quashed. However, the Allahabad High Court ruled that it could not interfere at this stage. It advised Rahul Gandhi to file a revision petition in the Sessions Court.(Maxim News)
