Rahul Gandhi defamation case, Lawyer unwell, hearing deferred to Feb 11

Proceedings in a defamation case involving Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, scheduled to take place Thursday, January 30, were deferred after the Congress leader’s lawyer fell sick.

Special Judge Shubham Verma scheduled the next hearing for February 11.

“The



delay came after Rahul Gandhi’s lawyer, Kashi Prasad Shukla, submitted a medical certificate stating that he was unwell and unable to attend the court proceedings. In response, Judge Verma set the new date for the hearing,” Santosh Kumar Pandey, the advocate of Vijay Mishra, who has filed the case against Gandhi, said.
