The Thane court in Maharashtra’s Bhiwandi town today deferred the hearing of a defamation case against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and his request for permanent exemption from appearing till April 1st.
Mr Gandhi’s counsel (Advocate Narayan Iyer) stated the application for the permanent exemption placed before the First-Class Judicial Magistrate LC Wadikar.
A local functionary of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Rajesh Kunte, filed the case against Rahul Gandhi in 2014 after listening to his speech in Thane’s Bhiwandi Area, where Congress leader alleged that the RSS was behind the killing of Mahatma Gandhi.
Rahul Gandhi sought exemption from appearing on the grounds that he is a resident of Delhi and a Lok Sabha member and requested that whenever required, he be allowed to be represented by his lawyer in the hearing.
Advocate Nandu Phadke (Representer of the complainant), informed the court that they were ready for the hearing in the case, which will come up next on April 1.
