congress leader Rahul Gandhi There was an uproar in the party after knowing about Lok Sabha membership. His membership was lost after he was sentenced by the court in the Modi surname case. Although the BJP attacked the Congress itself and said that there are many veteran lawyers in their party, but their sentence was not challenged, due to which this happened with Rahul Gandhi.
Now Congress leader and senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi has responded to BJP’s allegations. Let us tell you that Singhvi is presenting his side in Rahul Gandhi’s case before the Gujarat High Court bench of Justice Hemant M Prachak. Singhvi has questioned the “legality” and “impartiality” of the Lok Sabha Secretariat’s decision to sack Rahul Gandhi after only 24 hours.
lots of advice given without asking
Singhvi further said that a lot of advice is given on television without asking. I am happy to see this. Had I been there, I would have appealed in 8 hours, someone said I would have appealed in 24 hours….there should be supersonic lawyers…but the point is have we come here for supersonic filing? He said that I went to the Lordship Court and told them that I have translated half of the judgment, but this disqualification is going to happen tomorrow, so accept my appeal immediately.
what is the matter
It may be noted that in a 2019 case filed by Gujarat BJP MLA Purnesh Modi, the Metropolitan Magistrate Court of Surat on March 23 held the former Congress president guilty under sections 499 and 500 (criminal defamation) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Was sentenced to two years in jail. Following the verdict, Gandhi was disqualified from membership of Parliament under the provisions of the Representation of the People Act. Rahul Gandhi was elected to the Lok Sabha in 2019 from Wayanad in Kerala.
On April 20, the sessions court in Surat rejected his plea for a stay on the conviction of the Congress leader. Gandhi is currently out on bail in this case.
What was the argument given by Singhvi on behalf of Gandhi in the High Court
Here, senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi told the Gujarat High Court on Saturday that the Congress leader’s conviction was “based on seriously flawed facts” regarding the trial process of a criminal defamation case related to Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Modi surname’ remark. Hui. Singhvi made this comment while arguing on behalf of Gandhi in the High Court. The High Court is hearing Rahul Gandhi’s plea challenging the Surat sessions court’s order not to stay his conviction in the criminal defamation case.
Hearing on Gandhi’s criminal revision petition
Justice Hemant Prachhak heard Gandhi’s criminal revision petition challenging the April 20 order of the sessions court. If the High Court approves this petition, it could pave the way for Gandhi to be made a Member of Parliament again. Earlier, the matter was mentioned for urgent hearing before the court of Justice Geeta Gopi. Justice Gopi later recused himself from the hearing and then Justice Prachhak was assigned the matter.
