The supreme court issued a notice to Purnesh Modi, the former minister of gujarat, and the gujarat government, who are the complainants in the appeal filed by rahul gandhi seeking a stay of the two-year jail sentence imposed on him in the 'Modi surname' defamation case. The supreme court issued a notice to former gujarat minister Purnesh Modi and the gujarat government in an appeal filed by former AICC President rahul gandhi seeking a stay on the two-year jail sentence imposed on him in the 'Modi Surname' defamation case. The next hearing is scheduled for august 4.
Before the lok sabha elections, rahul had asked in a rally in Kolar that 'all those with the surname Modi are thieves'. rahul was sentenced to two years in jail in the criminal defamation case filed against him by Purnesh Modi. Thus, rahul gandhi, who was elected from the wayanad constituency, was canceled as a member of parliament. The gujarat high court dismissed Rahul's petition seeking a stay on the sentence. rahul has questioned it in the supreme Court.
Senior lawyer Abhishek Singhvi, who argued for rahul during the application hearing, said that rahul has already served 111 days. Deprived of one session of Parliament. There is a possibility of being deprived of another session which is going on now. There is a possibility that by-elections will be announced at any moment for the wayanad constituency which he was representing. Therefore, he requested that the punishment should be stayed immediately. A bench of NABR Gavai and PK Mishra issued a notice to Purnesh and the gujarat government to respond to this.
