BJP MLA files caveat in Rahul Gandhi defamation case
Delhi/Hyderabad, July 12 (Maxim News): BJP MLA Purnesh Modi, the complainant in the defamation case against Rahul Gandhi, has filed a caveat in the Supreme Court seeking that he be heard if the Congress leader moves a plea challenging the High Court verdict refusing to stay his conviction in the Modi surname remark case.
According to the apex court website, Purnesh Modi filed the caveat on the same day in the top court through his lawyer P.S Sudheer.
It may be recalled that Justice Hemant Prachchhak of the High Court had dismissed the appeal of Rahul Gandhi saying, “It is now the need of the hour to have purity in politics”. It also noted that the representatives of the people should be “men of clear antecedent” and that a stay on conviction is not a rule, but an exception resorted to only in rare cases and there was no reasonable ground to stay his conviction.
A stay on Gandhi’s conviction would have paved the way for his reinstatement as a Lok Sabha MP. Congress later said it will move the Supreme Court against the verdict and alleged that the government is finding “newer techniques” to throttle his voice as it is rattled by his speaking the truth.
