As per case facts, Rahul Gandhi (Accused No.4) sought to quash defamation proceedings initiated by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The BJP alleged Rahul Gandhi and others issued a defamatory ... advertisement on 05.05.2023, making reckless imputations against the party, and claimed Rahul Gandhi promoted it via his Twitter. The trial court took cognizance and issued summons. Rahul Gandhi appealed, arguing no imputation against him, no link to the advertisement, the tweet relied upon was not properly exhibited, and the complainant lacked locus standi. He also pointed out a lack of mens rea and procedural lapses, specifically the absence of a Section 202 Cr.P.C. inquiry. The question arose whether the complainant was an 'aggrieved person' with valid representation, if sufficient material established Rahul Gandhi's mens rea and link to the defamation, and if procedural mandates were met. Finally, the High Court allowed the petition, setting aside proceedings against Rahul Gandhi. It found the complainant not properly represented, insufficient material to link Rahul Gandhi to the advertisement or establish mens rea without the properly exhibited tweet, and a crucial procedural lapse in not conducting a Section 202 Cr.P.C. inquiry.
