Gujarat High Court Rejects Rahul Gandhi's Plea to Suspend Conviction

NEW DELHI, 7th JULY, (VNI) : The Gujarat High Court rejected Rahul Gandhi's plea to suspend his conviction in a defamation case related to his 2019 comment about the Modi surname. Here are five points mentioned by the court while dismissing the petition:
1  Rahul Gandhi's request to stay his conviction is based on unfounded reasons.
2  Suspending the conviction is not a standard practice.
3  There is no valid justification to suspend the conviction, as it is fair, appropriate, and lawful.
4  Rahul Gandhi has multiple pending cases against him, including a complaint filed by Veer Savarkar's grandson in the Pune Court after Gandhi made derogatory remarks about Veer Savarkar at Cambridge.
5  Declining to suspend the conviction will not lead to any injustice towards Rahul Gandhi.
