Rahul Gandhi was issued summons several times to appear in court in this case, but he was not appearing for two years. After this, on 24 May, the court issued a non -bailable warrant against Rahul Gandhi and ordered him to appear in the court on 26 June. Rahul Gandhi had approached the Jharkhand High Court challenging this order of Chaibasa Court, but he did not get relief from there. The High Court had directed Rahul Gandhi to appear personally before the Chaibasa MP-MLA court on 6 August. Rahul Gandhi appeared in court today while following this order.
Advocates Pradeep Chandra and Dipankar Roy put their side before the Chaibasa court on behalf of Rahul Gandhi. Significantly, the Supreme Court has given strict advice to Rahul Gandhi in the case related to commenting against the army. The bench told Rahul Gandhi that what is the proof you have to prove the charge? A true Indian cannot talk like this. During the 2022 visit to India, Rahul Gandhi said that Chinese military soldiers in Arunachal Pradesh are beating the Indian Army soldiers.
