Rahul Gandhi defamation case: The Congress leader now plans to approach the Supreme Court.
Modi surname case: The Gujarat High Court today turned down Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's request seeking a hold on his conviction in a defamation case over his 2019 Modi surname remark.
Here are five things the court said while dismissing the petition:
- Rahul Gandhi is seeking a stay on conviction on absolutely non-existent grounds.
- Stay on conviction is not a rule.
- There is no reasonable ground to stay the conviction, which is just, proper and legal.
- There are 10 cases pending against Rahul Gandhi. A complaint has also been filed against him by the grandson of Veer Savarkar in Pune Court after Gandhi used terms against Veer Savarkar at Cambridge.
- Refusal to stay conviction would not in any way result in injustice to the applicant.
