Thane, A court in Maharashtra’s Thane district on Saturday adjourned till December 6 the hearing of a libel case submitted versus Congress leader Rahul Gandhi by a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) employee.
Bhiwandi Joint Civil Judge, Junior Division, P M Kolse, is hearing the case at present.
When the matter turned up for hearing on Saturday, complainant Rajesh Kunte’s counsel supporter Prabodh Jaywant moved an application looking for authorization to take a look at inspector Ashok Saykar of the Nizampura police headquarters as a witness.
The court had actually directed the Nizampura cops to carry out a probe and send a report in connection with the case. The inspector had actually appropriately sent the probe report to the court, and the plaintiff’s counsel wished to analyze the officer in this connection.
The matter was set up to be heard next on November 29.
Gandhi’s counsel, supporter Narayan Iyer, moved an application looking for adjournment due to non-availability of his (Gandhi’s) legal group on that day.
The court then adjourned the hearing till December 6.
Kunte had actually submitted the criminal disparagement over the Congress leader’s declared declaration at an election rally near Bhiwandi on March 6, 2014, that “the RSS people killed (Mahatma) Gandhi”
