Mumbai: The Bombay High Court has said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has a legitimate right for an expeditious decision on merits over a 2014 defamation complaint for his alleged remarks against the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.
A single bench of Justice Prithviraj Chavan in the order of July 12 said Article 21 of the Constitution provides the right to a speedy trial for everyone and a free and fair trial is something that is absolutely necessary.
The court made the remarks while allowing Gandhi’s petition to quash a magistrate’s order permitting an RSS worker to submit fresh and additional documents in the pending criminal defamation complaint.
