The hearing in a 2018 defamation case against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, filed by BJP leader Vijay Mishra, has been postponed to May 14 as no judge was assigned to the MP-MLA court.
Rahul Gandhi’s counsel, Kashi Prasad Shukla, confirmed that the hearing, initially scheduled for May 2, was postponed due to the lack of an assigned judge. The defamation complaint was filed against Mr. Gandhi for his alleged objectionable remark targeting Union Home Minister Amit Shah during a press conference in Bengaluru in May 2018.
