Sultanpur: The hearing in the defamation case against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his alleged objectionable remarks against Union Home Minister Amit Shah was on Tuesday fixed for June 26 as the judge concerned was on leave.
The case related to Gandhi's alleged objectionable remarks against Shah is going on in the MP/MLA court here.
The defamation complaint against Gandhi was filed by BJP leader Vijay Mishra.
Plaintiff's lawyer Santosh Kumar Pandey said that the hearing of the case was to be held on Tuesday but due to the judge of the concerned court being on leave, it has been postponed till June 26.
On June 7, Judge Shubham Verma of the concerned court had fixed the date of June 18 for the hearing of the said case.
The Congress leader had appeared in the court on February 20 in the defamation case and the court had granted him bail.
A complaint was filed against Gandhi on August 4, 2018 for his alleged objectionable comments against Shah at a press conference in Bengaluru.
The complainant cited Gandhi's comments that the BJP claims to believe in honest and clean politics but its party president is an "accused" in a murder case.
Shah was the BJP president when Gandhi made this comment.
Nearly four years before Gandhi's comments, a special CBI court in Mumbai had acquitted Shah in a 2005 fake encounter case when he was minister of state for home in Gujarat.
