Posted by On May 07, 2015 0 Comment

New Delhi: In a relief for Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi, the Supreme Court has stayed all trial proceedings against him in a criminal defamation case.

The defamation case was filed before a trial court in Maharashtra for allegedly blaming Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) for the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi.

“There shall be stay of further proceedings in a case pending before the trial court till the next date of hearing,” a bench comprising Justices Dipak Misra and PC Pant said.

The next date of hearing is July 8. The case against Gandhi is pending before a magisterial court in Bhiwandi in Thane district of Maharashtra.
