Defamation Case: Patna Court Summons Rahul Gandhi on 25th April

Patna: MP – MLA court of Patna has asked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to appear on the 25th of April in the defamation suit filed over his purported remark on Modi’s surname.

The defamation case in the MP-MLA court was lodged by BJP’s Rajya Sabha MP and Bihar former Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi.

The MP-MLA court of Special Judicial Magistrate Aadi Dev had passed an order on the 18th of March asking Rahul Gandhi to appear before it today but he did not appear before the Patna court.

During the hearing, the defense counsel, however, sought another date stating that the entire team was busy with the Surat Case in which Rahul Gandhi was sentenced to two years in prison and disqualified from Lok Sabha.

To this, the Judge asked Rahul Gandhi’s counsel to ensure his physical appearance before the Court on the next date of hearing in the case on the 25th of April.
