Rahul Gandhi ‘on leave’, can’t appear in court for RSS defamation case

timesofindia.indiatimes.com - BHIWANDI: A Bhiwandi magistrate on Monday exempted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi from personal appearance in a defamation case filed against him by an RSS leader.

When the matter came, Gandhi's lawyer sought an exemption from appearance for four weeks. "Gandhi is on leave even from Parliament at the moment. He has been on leave since February even before the Bombay high court dismissed his plea to quash the case,'' said his counsel Prasad Dhakephalkar. "He has the highest regard for the judiciary and submits to this court's jurisdiction,'' he added.
