The Bombay High Court on Tuesday dismissed a petition filed by Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, seeking to quash a 2019 summons in a defamation case over his remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whom he had termed a "commander-in-thief."
A single bench of Justice N R Borkar upheld the magistrate court's order, stating that it found no "perversity and illegality" in the lower court's decision.
