Hearing in Rahul defamation case now on Apr 28

Sultanpur: A special court on Tuesday deferred the hearing over a defamation case against Congress MP Rahul Gandhi after a witness from the complainant's side did not depose in court.
The special MP-MLA court fixed Apr 28 as the next date of hearing, according to a lawyer in the case.
Gandhi's lawyer, Kashi Prasad Shukla, said, "The hearing was scheduled to take place today, but no action could be taken as the witness from the complainant's side was not produced. The court has fixed Apr 28 as the next date of hearing."
The previous hearing in the case took place on Apr 3.
Complainant's lawyer Santosh Kumar Pandey said a witness was supposed to testify on Tuesday.
The case dates back to 2018, when local BJP politician Vijay Mishra filed a defamation suit over Gandhi's alleged objectionable remarks against BJP leader Amit Shah during the Karnataka assembly elections.
