The Gujarat High Court has given two more weeks time to Congress leader Ahmed Patel to file his reply on a petition by Balwantsinh Rajput, the BJP candidate. Mr. Rajput had challenged Ahmed Patel's win in the recently-held Rajya
Sabha elections.
The court yesterday deferred the hearing to 6th of October on a request made by Mr Patel's lawyer seeking more time to file the affidavit in response to the petition.
