The Supreme Court (SC) quashed the criminal defamation complaint and summon issued by a trial court against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his remarks against Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. A bench of Justices Dipankar Datta and Sheel Nagu said the required sanction was not obtained in the matter.
The bench said, ‘Additional Solicitor General and advocate for complainant, in the affidavit filed by UP, submits there is no disclosure of sanction. In such view of the matter, the complaint and orders passed by magistrate stands quashed’. The defamation case stems from Gandhi’s comments on Savarkar made on November 17, 2022 during his Bharat Jodo Yatra at a rally in Maharashtra’s Akola district.
The apex court had earlier censured Gandhi for ‘irresponsible’ remarks on Savarkar at a rally in Maharashtra but stayed the criminal proceedings against him. It had issued notice to the Uttar Pradesh government and complainant advocate Nripendra Pandey and stayed a Allahabad High Court order which refused to quash trial court’s summons against Gandhi. A case under various provisions for alleged offences such as promoting enmity between classes and public mischief was lodged against him by Pandey.
The Lucknow bench of the high court on April 4, 2025, said Gandhi can file a revision petition before the sessions court, making the high court's intervention unnecessary at this stage. Rahul Gandhi had challenged a subordinate court's decision to summon him in the case, while contesting the ongoing proceedings against him. Advocate Nripendra Pandey filed a complaint, accusing Gandhi of intentionally insulting Savarkar during the rally. The complainant alleged Gandhi's remarks were part of a well-planned conspiracy to defame Savarkar.
