Tezzbuzz Desk– The Supreme Court has issued a notice to Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and other concerned parties in the case of allegedly pushing a three-month pregnant female journalist. On Tuesday, senior lawyer and BJP leader Gaurav Bhatia mentioned this matter in the court. Now the next hearing of the case will be on November 3.
During the hearing, Gaurav Bhatia told that the petition related to the female journalist has not been listed for hearing yet. On this, Chief Justice Justice Surya Kant said that the court has already issued notice on this petition. He also directed to link the petition with the main case.
This case is related to the incidents that took place in the Supreme Court complex on October 12. That day, Rahul Gandhi had reached the Supreme Court to file a writ petition on behalf of the 'India' alliance. Meanwhile, a female journalist approached the court regarding the incidents that took place on the campus. The petition alleged that the female journalist, who was three months pregnant at that time, was pushed and that Rahul Gandhi had a role in the incident. BJP leader Gaurav Bhatia raised this matter before the court during the hearing, calling it serious.
The Supreme Court clarified that notice has already been issued on the petition of the female journalist. The court has directed that the matter be clubbed with the main petition, so that the replies of the parties concerned and other aspects of the case can be heard together. Now the facts related to the case and the replies of the concerned parties can be considered in the hearing to be held on November 3. At present, the final decision of the court is yet to come on the allegations made by the female journalist.
