April 13, 2023
Surat court to pronounce order on April 20 on Rahul Gandhi's plea for stay on conviction in defamation case. The Congress leader had filed a plea for a stay on his conviction in the defamation case over his "Modi surname" remark in which he has been sentenced to two years in jail.
BJP MLA and complainant Purnesh Modi, in his reply filed earlier in the same court, opposed Gandhi's plea for a stay on conviction saying the Congress leader is a "repetitive offender" who is in the habit of making defamatory statements.
On Thursday, arguments from both sides commenced in the court of Additional Sessions Judge RP Mogera.
