Surat: A petition has been filed against the sentencing of former Congress President Rahul Gandhi in the defamation case, which was heard in the Sessions Court of Surat on Thursday. Advocate RS Cheema, who appeared in the court on behalf of Rahul Gandhi, said that if he is disqualified considering the votes and punishment, it would be irreparable loss. Also said that the judge was misled.
After being convicted in a defamation case, Rahul Gandhi lost his membership of the Lok Sabha from the Wayanad seat. It was informed by the Bar and Bench that during the hearing in the Sessions Court of Surat, Rahul's lawyer Cheema, presenting his side, said, "Rahul Gandhi became the Lok Sabha MP after winning a big victory from the Wayanad seat. Now if he is disqualified considering the vote and conviction, it will not only be an irreparable loss but also an irreversible loss.”
'This trial is very harsh for me'
On behalf of Rahul Gandhi, it was said in the court that only the aggrieved party can file a complaint. Senior advocate RS Cheema, appearing for Rahul, said, “Saying that only an aggrieved person can file a complaint, Cheema, appearing for Rahul Gandhi, said, “I was prosecuted in response to my courage because I Was vocally criticizing the PM. This trial is very harsh and unfair to me.
Cheema now reads from another witness' statement who testified that Modi isn't a case but Gosai is a caste and people call Gosai caste people as Modis. #RahulGandhi #suratcourt #defamationcase
Raising the issue of Geographical Jurisdiction of Purnesh Modi, the complainant in the Modi surname case, advocate Cheema said that this speech was given by Rahul Gandhi in Kolar, Karnataka while the complainant received this message on his WhatsApp.
'So should I file a defamation case'
Advocate Cheema said, “If someone tells me that you are Punjabi quarrelsome and abusive, can I file a defamation case against him? Many such words have often been used for all linguistic groups as well as religious institutions etc.
Cheema said, “During the trial at 11:51 am my client (Rahul) is convicted, then in half an hour he is sentenced to severe punishment. I am surprised that the trial court told my client- 'You were warned by the Supreme Court. You are very insolent, you have not understood anything. I am sorry that I am going to use strong words, but it is a fact that the judge was misled."
