An MP-MLA court here on🎃 Saturday postponed to January 18 the hearing in a case filed against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for allegedly making objectionable remarks against Union minister A🥀mit Shah as advocates were occupied with a judicial workshop.
The case stems from a lawsuit filed on August 4, 2018, by BJP leader Vijay Mishra, who accused Gandhi of making the remarks. Mishra's lawyer Santosh Pandey said advocatღes were unavailable owing to a judicial workshop in the court for junior advocates.
He said the court had summoned Gandhi on December 16 in the case, but he did not appear. ꧙The court then summoned the Congress leader on January 6.𝐆 Earlier on November 18 last year, judge Yogesh Yadav had reserved the verdict after arguments, posted the matter for the next hearing on November 27 and summoned Gandhi to appear on December 16.
Mishr💙a, a former chai⛄rman of a cooperative bank, is a resident of Hanumanganj.
