Bombay High Court has extended the interim relief granted to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi from appearing before a magistrate court in Mumbai until February 26 in a defamation case against him. Gandhi had approached the Bombay High Court through his lawyer Kushal Mor, seeking the quashing of the proceedings against him for his “commander-in-thief” remark against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2018 while addressing a public rally in Rajasthan. Gandhi had tweeted the same on September 24, 2018.
