Rahul Gandhi has not yet gone to the Supreme Court, but it is possible that he may soon challenge the decision of the Gujarat High Court in the Supreme Court.
Rahul Gandhi, who has suffered a setback from the Gujarat High Court in a defamation case related to the Modi surname issue, now rests his hopes on the Supreme Court. But here also the complainant BJP MLA Purnesh Modi is in no mood to give relief to Rahul Gandhi. Purnesh Modi has filed a caveat petition even before Rahul Gandhi’s appeal in the Supreme Court.
In the petition, Purnesh Modi has said that if Rahul Gandhi files a petition in the Supreme Court against the decision of the Gujarat High Court, then the court should also hear the side of the complainant. No order should be issued without listening to anyone’s side. Rahul Gandhi has not yet gone to the Supreme Court, but it is possible that he may soon challenge the decision of the Gujarat High Court in the Supreme Court.
