Rahul Gandhi Faces Revived Defamation Case Tied to Hathras Rape Incident.

A defamation case filed against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in connection with remarks made about acquitted persons in the Hathras Boolgarhi rape case has gained fresh momentum after a revision petition was admitted by a court, with the next hearing scheduled for July 15. The court admitted the plea on Monday and ordered on Tuesday the next date of hearing, a case lawyer said. 

The MP/MLA Court of



Additional District Judge Vijay Kumar II will hear the revision plea after it was accepted against the May 13 order of Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division) Deepak Nath Saraswati, who had dismissed the complaint against Gandhi, the leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha.

Pundir said the revision plea has now been admitted and the matter will come up before the Additional District Judge, MP/MLA Court No. 5, on July 15.
