SC issues notice to Rahul Gandhi on journalist’s plea over October 12 march

Parmod Kumar

New Delhi, Oct 27 (UNI) The Supreme Court on Tuesday issued notice to Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on a plea by a journalist who has alleged that she was pushed while covering the Opposition’s October 12 march to the top court.

A bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant, Justice Joymalya Bagchi and Justice V. Mohana issued formal notice after senior advocate Gaurav Bhatia pointed out that the matter had not been listed despite an earlier indication that it would be taken up on October 26.

Bhatia had raised the issue before the court on October 16, seeking clarity on whether notice had been issued in the application.
The Chief Justice had then said that notice stood issued in all connected matters and indicated that the plea would be listed on October 26.

When the matter did not come up on that date, Bhatia mentioned it again before the bench on Tuesday, following which formal notice was issued to Gandhi.

The application stems from the October 12 march by Gandhi and other Opposition leaders to the Supreme Court in connection with their challenge to the Election Commission of India’s Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls.

The journalist, who was pregnant at the time, has alleged that Gandhi grabbed and pulled her as she attempted to cover the march and that she was subsequently pushed by his security personnel, causing her to fall. She was later hospitalised.

The Congress has denied the allegation.

The October 12 march was held amid Opposition protests over alleged irregularities in the SIR exercise and demands for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
