The court had given exemption to Rahul Gandhi not to be present during the hearing. Rahul Gandhi’s lawyer argued in the court that the defamation case was not justified by commenting on Rahul’s Modi surname. Also, there was no need for maximum punishment in the case. Purnesh Modi, the petitioner in the case, gave his reply in the court, opposing the plea for a stay on Gandhi’s conviction, saying that the Congress leader was repeatedly accused of making defamatory statements.
Senior Advocate RS Cheema submitted that Section 389 of the Code of Criminal Procedure provides for suspension of sentence on appeal.
