The Supreme Court has quashed a criminal defamation complaint and trial court summons against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi regarding his comments on Hindutva ideologue V.D. Savarkar. The bench comprising Justices Dipankar Datta and Shreel Nagu noted that the mandatory legal sanction required under Section 196 of the CrPC for prosecution was not obtained. The case stemmed from remarks made by Gandhi during the Bharat Jodo Yatra in Akola, Maharashtra in 2022. While the Allahabad High Court had previously refused to quash the case, the Apex Court intervened, citing lack of procedural compliance. https://www.prajavani.net/news/india-news/supreme-court-quashes-case-against-rahul-gandhi-savarkar-remarks-4194944
