Ranchi: An MP/MLA court in Ranchi rejected Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's plea for exemption from personal appearance in 'Modi Surname case' on Wednesday.
A defamation case was filed against Rahul Gandhi by a person named Pradeep Modi in Ranchi.
Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhiâs gruelling wait for freedom from the Surat criminal defamation case over âModi surnameâ was stretched at least by a month on Tuesday after the Gujarat High Court reserved its orders until the month-long summer break.Â
The courtâs summer vacation is from May 5 to June 4 and so it will pass the final judgment after that.Â
After the lower courts rejected his applications for a stay on his conviction in the case, Gandhi had knocked the doors of the high court with a criminal revision plea.Â
Not only did the single judge bench of Justice Hemant Prachchhak reserved his order on Gandhiâs plea but also refused to grant any interim protection to him.Â
