Ahmedabad: In a major jolt to former Congress President Rahul Gandhi, Gujarat High Court today dismissed the petition seeking a stay on the conviction in relation to criminal defamation case, for calling those having ‘Modi’ surnames as thieves.
The Gandhi scion now has an option under Article 136 of the Constitution to approach the Supreme Court, which he is expected to do at the earliest, as hinted by All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary (Organisation) K.C. Venugopal, at Kozhikode in Kerala, after Gujarat HC order.
