Rahul to return as MP, can fight polls as Supreme court stays his conviction

IndiaTimes Friday, 4 August 2023
The Supreme Court on Monday stayed Rahul Gandhi’s conviction in a defamation case over his Modi surname remark, faulting the trial court order for awarding the maximum punishment of two years — which led to his disqualification from the Lok Sabha — without spelling out any specific reason, though maintaining that his utterance was “not in good taste”. The court's order would restore him as the MP from Wayanad.
