Rahul Gandhi defamation case: J’khand HC reserves order on quashing petition

Hindustan Times  

RANCHI: The Jharkhand high court on Tuesday reserved its order after hearing arguments in a petition filed by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, seeking quashing of an order passed by a Ranchi district court in connection with a defamation case filed by a BJP worker for allegedly passing a derogatory remark against union home minister Amit Shah. The complaint case was filed by Navin Jha with Ranchi court on April 28, 2018, against the statement Rahul Gandhi made at the plenary session of his party on March 18, 2018. In his complaint, Jha had claimed that Gandhi made a false and defamatory remark against Shah stating that “people of this country will accept a lying BJP leadership because the people know what the BJP is designed for.” “They will accept a man accused of murder as the president of the BJP, but the people would never accept the same in the Congress party,” he further went on to say, the petitioner alleged. However, Ranchi judicial commissioner on September 15, 2018, had allowed the revision petition, directing the magistrate to take back the case with a direction to re-appreciate the evidence on record and pass an order afresh on the point of determining prima facie material to proceed in the matter.
