Rahul Gandhi s lawyer Abhishek Manu Singhvi cited extreme urgency to request from the court for an interim or a final order after arguments from both sides in the matter concluded during the day. The court of Justice Hemant Prachchhak, however, said no interim protection can be granted at this stage.
While refusing to grant any interim relief to Congress leader and disqualified MP Rahul Gandhi in his criminal revision plea filed seeking a stay on his conviction in the Modi-Thieves remark case,.
Gujarat HC heard Rahul Gandhi s appeal against a sessions court s order last month refusing to stay his conviction in the 2019 defamation case. A trial court in Surat had convicted and sentenced him to two years in jail, leading to the Congress leader s disqualification as Lok Sabha MP.
