The Lucknow bench of Allahabad High Court has rejected Rahul Gandhi’s petition to quash proceedings in a defamation case related to his comments about Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. Gandhi had referred to Savarkar as a ‘servant of British,’ leading to a legal battle. He was fined for missing a court appearance, and the recent court ruling has denied his request to halt the proceedings. The judgment also highlighted the possibility of exploring additional legal options for appeal. This development underscores the ongoing legal challenges faced by Gandhi in connection to his public statements about historical figures.
