The Supreme Court will hear arguments on a defamation case filed against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi by a man named Purnesh Modi. The case stems from a 2019 speech in which Gandhi said that the surname "Modi" had become synonymous with corruption.
Purnesh Modi, who is not related to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, filed the defamation case in 2020. He argued that Gandhi's speech had damaged his reputation and caused him financial loss.
The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments in the case on July 21, 2023. The case is likely to draw a lot of attention, as it raises important questions about the limits of free speech and the right to privacy.
