A Pune Magistrate dismissed Satyaki Savarkar’s plea seeking to stop Rahul Gandhi from deleting an alleged defamatory video. The court said, “The complainant has filed the CD of the alleged defamatory video. That can be relied upon by the Court during trial.”
A Pune court denied Rahul Gandhi’s request for details about Satyaki Savarkar’s maternal lineage in a defamation case linked to comments he made in London. The judge emphasized that the case focuses on alleged defamatory statements rather than family history, asserting that such information is irrelevant to the main issue at hand.
A Pune special MP/MLA court has approved Rahul Gandhi’s request to convert his defamation trial concerning Vinayak Savarkar from a summary to a summons format. This allows Gandhi to present detailed evidence and cross-examine witnesses, deemed necessary by the judge due to the complexity of factual and legal questions involved.
A Pune court granted Rahul Gandhi a permanent exemption from appearing in the Savarkar defamation case. The case stems from Gandhi’s alleged derogatory remarks about Hindutva leader Vinayak Damodar Savarkar during a speech in London in March 2023. The exemption means Gandhi will no longer need to be present for hearings. However, the legal proceedings in the case will continue.
