Prayagraj,

11 March (HS): The Allahabad High Court deferred its hearing on a plea

contesting a Sambhal court's ruling denying an application for a FIR against

Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, over alleged

contentious statements in 2025. The

petitioner's attorney requested an adjournment, and Justice Samit Gopal granted

it. The next hearing will be held on March 25. According to the petitioner,

Simran Gupta, Gandhi allegedly stated during the inauguration of the AICC

office in 2025 that we are now fighting the BJP, the RSS, and the Indian

State itself. Gupta said that these statements have harmed public opinion

across the country.

According

to the petitioner, Gandhi's purported comment is a seditious and anti-national

declaration made with the goal to undermine the country. Previously, the court

stated in its ruling dated February 11 that learned counsel for the

petitioner(s) states that he wants to file a supplementary affidavit and prays

for two weeks' time for the same. Prayers are permitted.
