Rahul Gandhi Moves to Gujarat High Court on his Conviction in Defamation Case

26 Apr, 2023

25 April 2023: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday approached the Gujarat high court to request a stay on his conviction in a criminal defamation case for comments made four years ago on the Modi surname.

We have filed an application in the Gujarat high court today challenging the Surat court’s recent verdict. I cannot share any more information in this matter for now,” said lawyer Pankaj Champaneri who is appearing for the 52-year-old Congress leader in the matter.

A Surat sessions court on April 20 rejected Rahul Gandhi’s plea to stay his conviction. On March 23, Gandhi was convicted and sentenced to two years in prison for a remark he made ahead of the 2019 national polls about the Modi surname.
