Appearing before the Gujarat High Court for Congress leader and disqualified MP Rahul Gandhi in his criminal revision plea filed seeking a stay on his conviction in the 'Modi-Thieves' remark case, Senior Advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi today argued that non-stay on conviction will have irreversible consequences for Gandhi and that he would stand disqualified for a period of 8 years that can be said to be virtually semi-permanent period. "Serious ex-facie vitiating factors involved" Senior Counsel Singhvi argued that many serious ex-facie vitiating factors were involved in the case which led to the trial court convicting Gandhi in the defamation case and the same raised grave apprehension about the process of trial. However, Senior Counsel Singhvi submitted that the said order in Rafale Case came on November 14, 2019, and the alleged speech in the instant case was made in April 2019 and hence, in a way, the Court asked Gandhi to be careful retrospectively.
