Bombay HC refuses to cancel summons to Rahul Gandhi over remarks against PM

Bombay HC refuses to cancel summons to Rahul Gandhi over remarks against PM Bombay HC refuses to cancel summons to Rahul Gandhi over remarks against PM The Bombay High Court refused to cancel Rahul Gandhi's summons in the 2019 defamation case over his remarks on PM Modi. It extended protection from his appearance before the magistrate by six weeks to let him move the Supreme Court. The Bombay High Court on Tuesday refused to cancel the summons issued to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi in 2019 in a defamation complaint over his remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whom he had called a "commander-in-thief". A single bench of Justice NR Borkar dismissed Gandhi's petition against the magistrate court order. The court, however, continued its 2021 interim order for six weeks, allowing Gandhi time to approach the Supreme Court. This means Gandhi, who is the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, will not have to appear before the magistrate during this period. The complaint was filed by MH Shrishrimal, who opposed Gandhi's plea in the High Court and said that as a BJP member, he too was aggrieved by remarks made against his party leader. The court did not accept Gandhi's argument that Shrishrimal was not an aggrieved party because the remarks were aimed at an individual and not the political party.

"In view of the recent tragic incident, it is a very serious issue. We have inspected, completed and the last inspection is today at 2:30pm," Sinha told the Court.
