SC issues notice on Rahul Gandhi's petition challenging Mumbai HC order

In a significant development, the Supreme Court bench issued a notice on Rahul Gandhi's petition that seeks to overturn the Bombay High Court's September 8 order. The petition contends that the criminal defamation complaint filed by a BJP worker lacks merit because Gandhi's statements did not name any specific person or organization. The court has asked both sides to file their replies within four weeks, and until then, the trial proceedings will remain on hold.
