Defamation Drama: Jharkhand HC rides to Rahul Gandhi's rescue, saves him from legal storm over 'Modi Surname' remark!

Today, Jharkhand High Court in its order directed no coercive action against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in the PM Modi surname case. 

The court has issued interim orders to prevent any actions, such as issuing a warrant, against Rahul Gandhi until further notice.

Rahul Gandhi has been granted relief by the Jharkhand High Court.

Back in 2018, Rahul Gandhi remarked comments regarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi's last name and inappropriate remarks about the BJP president.

In this response to this, BJP activists filed petitions against Rahul Gandhi, prompting the Jharkhand High Court to take up the matter. In response, the court has temporarily prohibited any action against Rahul Gandhi and adjourned the next hearing to August 16.

During a speech in Ranchi, Rahul Gandhi remarked, "In this country, it is possible for a murderer to become the president of a party only in BJP. Such a thing is impossible in Congress."

These comments led to multiple cases being filed against him in various Jharkhand courts, including the Ranchi Civil Court, which issued a warrant.

Rahul Gandhi allegedly stated, “Nirav Modi, Lalit Modi, Narendra Modi... how come they all have Modi as the common surname. How come all the thieves have Modi as the common surname?"

Rahul Gandhi has faced legal repercussions in a separate case in Gujarat. The Surat court had sentenced him to two years in jail for making inappropriate comments about Prime Minister Modi's surname. Rahul Gandhi appealed this verdict in the high court. However, based on the Surat court's judgment, the government declared him ineligible for Lok Sabha membership under the Representation of the People Act,
