Rahul Gandhi, the head of the Congress, had petitioned the Gujarat High Court for a stay of his conviction in a criminal defamation action stemming from his remark about the surname Modi. On July 7, the court delivered its ruling. Ten further criminal defamation complaints against Gandhi have been recognised by the Gujarat High Court. The order made by the sessions court, according to the court, did not call for any further intervention in the situation.
