Defamation case: Gujarat HC judge recuses from hearing Rahul Gandhi’s appeal
A Gujarat High Court judge, Justice Gita Gopi, on Wednesday recused herself from hearing Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's appeal against the Surat sessions court order that denied his request to suspend his conviction in a defamation case in connection with his "Modi surname" comment. Rahul Gandhi's lawyer PS Champaneri mentioned the case before the court of Justice Gita Gopi, seeking an urgent hearing. Rahul Gandhi's legal representative stated that a request will be sent to the Acting Chief Justice to assign the case to a different court. Rahul Gandhi's lawyer also said that the case was requested to be taken up in the court of Justice Gita Gopi because her court deals with the subject of criminal revision.
