Savarkar defamation case: Rahul Gandhi pleads not guilty before Pune court
Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Friday pleaded not guilty in the V D Savarkar defamation case before an MP/MLA court in Pune. Rahul Gandhi's counsel Milind Pawar appeared before the court on his behalf to record his plea in the defamation case filed by Satyaki Savarkar, the grandnephew of Hindutva ideologue V D Savarkar. Special judge Amol Shinde of the MP/MLA court read out the charges against Gandhi. Then, through his lawyer, Rahul submitted that he does not plead guilty in this case. Advocate Pawar filed an application before the MP/MLA court seeking that the complainant (Satyaki) clarify under which provision of law the latter submitted 'two different and mutually contradictory family trees'. Pawar requested the court to direct the complainant to clarify the reason for the omission of the name of his mother Himani in the second family tree placed on record. Satyaki's lawyer Sangram Kolhatkar argued that the two family trees are not different or contradictory. The court asked Kolhatkar to file a say on the clarification sought by Rahul Gandhi's counsel, during the next hearing on July 29. Earlier, on March 28, advocate Pawar had filed an application on behalf of Rahul, requesting the court to direct the complainant to file a family tree on his maternal side. Pawar claimed that the complainant has 'deliberately, systematically, very brilliantly avoided, and suppressed to disclose the family tree from his maternal side in the present complaint.' The complainant's mother Himani Ashok Savarkar is a daughter of Gopal Godse, younger brother of Nathuram Godse, who had killed Mahatma Gandhi. But, on May 28, the court had rejected Rahul's application and observed that 'this case is related only to alleged defamatory speech made by the accused in London against VD Savarkar.' The court order stated that Satyaki is the grandson of one of the brothers of late V D Savarkar and the said case is not related to the family tree of his mother Himani Savarkar. Satyaki Savarkar had filed the defamation complaint against Rahul for his alleged objectionable remarks against V D Savarkar during a speech the Congress leader made in London on March 5, 2023. According to Satyaki, Gandhi had said in his speech in London that Savarkar had written a book in which it is stated that Savarkar and five to six of his friends beat up a Muslim and were 'delighted' about it. Satyaki said V D Savarkar had not written any such book as Gandhi had claimed, nor has such an incident ever take place. In his petition, Satyaki stated, 'He (Gandhi) has intentionally made false, malicious and wild allegations against Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, fully knowing the said allegations to be untrue, with the specific objective of harming the reputation and to defame the surname Savarkar.' In his criminal defamation application, Satyaki demanded maximum punishment for Rahul Gandhi under section 500 (Punishment for defamation) of the Indian Penal Code. On May 27, 2024, the inquiry report submitted by Pune City police before the magistrate court in this case concluded that Rahul Gandhi defamed V D Savarkar during his speech at the London event, by making statements that were not written by Savarkar in any of his books.

Can't compel Rahul Gandhi to produce book he cited in speech against Savarkar: Court
Pune: A special magisterial court on Thursday rejected the plea filed by the great-grandnephew of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, Satyaki, seeking a direction to the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, to supply a copy of the book he cited during his alleged defamatory speech in London in 2023 against the Hindutva ideologue. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Satyaki is the complainant in the defamation case he filed against Gandhi under the provisions of IPC section 500. Judicial Magistrate First Class Amol Shinde, in his three-page order, observed that Gandhi couldn't be compelled to disclose his evidence before the trial commencement. The court noted, "The accused cannot be compelled to produce the document/book sought by the complainant. As per Article 20 (3) of the Constitution of India, no person accused of any offence shall be compelled to be a witness against himself. Therefore, this court is of the opinion that an order cannot be passed directing the accused to file incriminating documents." Satyaki's lawyer, Sangram Kolhatkar, filed a plea under the provisions of section 94 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita seeking a copy of the book cited by Gandhi in his speech in London on March 5, 2023. Opposing the plea, Gandhi's lawyer, Milind Pawar, submitted that the trial in the case has not yet commenced and his client couldn't be compelled to disclose or divulge or submit any part of the documents relied upon before the trial could commence. Pawar argued Satyaki was required to prove his case beyond reasonable doubt and the burden of proof was entirely on him. "My client is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty. If the complainant's plea is allowed, it would cause serious prejudice to Gandhi's right to a fair trial," he said, adding that forcing the defence to prematurely disclose the defence was not permitted under the Criminal Procedure Code and Constitution. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The court order read, "No person accused of any offence shall be compelled to be a witness against himself and nor can he be compelled to produce incriminating documents material against him. The plea filed by Savarkar is liable to be rejected."

Rahul Gandhi seeks time to reply on plea demanding book quoted by him for ‘defaming' Savarkar
A court in Pune on Thursday granted more time to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to file his reply on an application seeking a copy of the book quoted by him while making an alleged defamatory statement against freedom fighter V D Savarkar during his speech in London. Gandhi is likely to submit his 'say' through his lawyer Milind Pawar to special judge Amol Shinde of the MP/MLA court in Pune, during the next hearing of the defamation case scheduled on July 3. Satyaki Savarkar had filed the defamation complaint against Gandhi for his alleged objectionable remarks against freedom fighter and Hindutva ideologue V D Savarkar, during a speech in London on March 5, 2023. Satyaki is the grandnephew of V D Savarkar. According to Satyaki, Gandhi had said in his speech that Savarkar wrote a book in which he stated that he and five to six of his friends beat up a Muslim and were 'delighted' about it. Satyaki said V D Savarkar had not written any such book as claimed by Gandhi, nor has such an incident ever happened. Earlier, Rahul's lawyer Milind Pawar had filed an application before the court seeking an English translation of the book 'Mazi Janmathep' authored by V D Savarkar, another book 'Hindutva' also authored by him, and the family tree of Satyaki Savarkar. Satyaki's lawyer Sangram Kolhatkar provided the same to advocate Pawar in the court. Last month, Satyaki filed an application before the court through advocate Kolhatkar, seeking directions for Gandhi to produce the book allegedly written by V D Savarkar, which was cited by him in his alleged defamatory statement. 'The above-mentioned book is necessary for a fair trial. Previously, this court had granted permission to the accused to obtain the book titled 'Hindutva' written by Veer Savarkar from the complainant. Hence, on the same grounds and principles, the complainant too should be granted the same relief in the interest of justice and fair trial,' the application stated. The court had asked advocate Pawar to file a 'say' on this application on behalf of Gandhi. But on Thursday, Pawar filed another application seeking more time for filing the 'say'. Pawar submitted in his plea that Gandhi is holding a constitutional post (Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha) and is occupied with official duties and public responsibilities of utmost importance. It further stated that 'due to certain unavoidable and unforeseen circumstances, the defence is unable to file say/reply on the said application….' Pawar sought reasonable time from the court to file a detailed reply to Satyaki's application. The court allowed Pawar's plea and kept the matter for hearing on July 3. During the last hearing, the court had rejected an application filed by Gandhi seeking the maternal family tree of Satyaki. Satyaki's mother Himani Ashok Savarkar is the daughter of Gopal Godse, the younger brother of Nathuram Godse, Mahatma Gandhi's assassin. Rejecting Gandhi's plea, the court had observed that Satyaki is the grandson of one of the brothers of late V D Savarkar and the said case is not related to the family tree of his mother Himani Savarkar.
