Alleged comments of Rahul not in good taste, says SC

The Supreme Court, while staying Rahul Gandhi’s conviction in the Modi surname case, faulted the Gujarat trial court for sentencing him to the maximum punishment for defamation without giving a reason, a relevant fact that was overlooked even by the Gujarat HC, which had rejected Rahul’s plea for stay of conviction. It said there was not even “whisper” on this by the trial court.
