In the Amit Shah defamation case, Rahul Gandhi’s lawyer completed the cross-examination of a witness at the MP-MLA Court in Sultanpur. The court scheduled the next round of witness cross-examination for October 9, continuing the legal proceedings.
The Supreme Court ruled that political parties’ manifesto promises, potentially leading to financial aid for the public, do not constitute ‘corrupt practices’ under the law. The Court emphasized the need for scrutiny and accountability in implementing such promises. A voter’s appeal challenging the Congress party’s promises was rejected, leaving the legal question open for future consideration.
