This defamation case stems from the comments made by Gandhi at a rally in Akola district of Maharashtra on November 17, 2022 during the ‘Bharat Jigo Yatra’. The Lucknow bench of the High Court on April 4 said that the Gandhi Sessions could file a revision petition before the court, which makes the High Court intervention at this stage unnecessary.

The Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Gandhi challenged the proceedings against him and challenged the decision of the subordinate court to summon him in the case. Advocate Nripendra Pandey lodged a complaint during the rally, accusing Gandhi of deliberately insulting Savarkar.

The complainant alleged that Gandhi’s comment was part of a planned conspiracy to discredit Savarkar.
