Rahul Gandhi has been convicted, but what happens to his MP ... (The Indian Express)

With Rahul Gandhi's conviction, his status as a Member of Parliament has come under the spotlight. Can he be disqualified? Here is what the law says.

This means that simply filing an appeal will not be enough but the convicted MP must secure a specific order of stay against the conviction of the trial court. Section 8(3) of the RPA mandates that an MP can be disqualified if convicted and sentenced to not less than two years of imprisonment. Section 8(4) also states that the disqualification takes effect only “after three months have elapsed” from the date of conviction. This is akin to releasing the appellant on bail. If a complaint with the order comes to the table, which has legal experts, will examine and take a decision.” [Wayanad](https://indianexpress.com/elections/wayanad-lok-sabha-election-results/), Kerala.

जनप्रतिनिधित्व कानून के मुताबिक किसी जनप्रतिनिधि को 2 या 2 साल से अधिक की सजा होती है तो सदस्यता रद्द हो सकती है। ऐसे में राहुल गांधी की सदस्यता पर भी खतरा मंडराने लगा है। लेकिन इसी कानून में राहत का भी प्रावधान है। नियम के मुताबिक, दोषी करार दिया गया जनप्रतिनिधि ऊंची अदालत में फैसले को चुनौती देता है, वहां उसकी अपील मंजूर होती है और दोष सिद्धि को या तो खत्म कर दिया जाता है या सजा कम कर दी जाती है तो सदस्यता बच जाएगी। कांग्रेस के पूर्व अध्यक्ष और केरल के वायनाड से सांसद राहुल गांधी को गुरुवार को बड़ा झटका लगा। सूरत की जिला अदालत ने 2019 के एक आपराधिक मानहानि केस में राहुल को दोषी करार देते हुए 2 साल कैद की सजा सुनाई है। हालांकि, कोर्ट ने 30 दिन के लिए सजा को निलंबित रखते हुए ऊपरी अदालतों में जाने के विकल्प को आजमाने का मौका दिया। 2 साल की सजा होने के बाद सवाल यह भी उठ रहा है कि क्या उनकी लोकसभा की सदस्यता पर भी खतरा मंडराने लगा है? कांग्रेस के पूर्व अध्यक्ष और केरल के वायनाड से सांसद राहुल गांधी को गुरुवार को बड़ा झटका लगा। सूरत की जिला अदालत ने 2019 के एक आपराधिक मानहानि केस में राहुल को दोषी करार देते हुए 2 साल की सजा सुनाई।

Rahul Gandhi's conviction: Here's why it could be a long legal battle ... (India Today)

While Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has legal options to dodge being disqualified as an MP in the defamation case, the court battle could be long and torturous.

Senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad claimed that there is a provision in the RP Act, which says that anybody getting two years of sentence can be disqualified. - In case no relief is granted by the Sessions court, the next available remedy would be appeals before higher courts. - Section 374 of the CrPC provides for appeals against conviction. Hence, a stay of conviction 'would relieve the individual from suffering the consequence of a disqualification relatable under Section 8 of the Act'." “The remedy for Mr Gandhi is to file an appeal and seek stay of conviction. While in Lily Thomas, it was stated in para 30 that, 'seat automatically falls vacant by virtue of Articles 101(3)(a) and 190(3)(a) of the Constitution', it was clarified in Lok Prahari vs Election Commission of India (2018) 18 SCC 114 that the disqualification will not operate from the date of the stay of conviction by the appellate court.

Rahul Gandhi can avert disqualification as MP if conviction stayed (The Indian Express)

The disqualification can be reversed if a higher court grants a stay on the conviction or decides the appeal in favour of Rahul Gandhi.

Hence, a stay of conviction “would relieve the individual from suffering the consequence of a disqualification,” the Court had said. Where the execution of the sentence is stayed, the conviction continues to operate. A subsequent appeal would be before the High Court which can stay the conviction in exercise of its inherent jurisdiction.

सोरेन ने ट्वीट किया, ‘‘न्यायिक व्यवस्था पर पूरा विश्वास रखते हुए भी मानहानि मामले में राहुल गांधी जी को सजा के निर्णय से असहमत हूं.'' सोरेन ने कहा, ''गैर-बीजेपी सरकारों और नेताओं को षड्यंत्र का शिकार बनाया जा रहा है. स्टालिन ने एक ट्वीट में कहा, “यह बेहद निंदनीय और अभूतपूर्व है कि राहुल गांधी जैसे नेता को एक टिप्पणी के लिए दोषी ठहराया जाता है, जिसके बारे में उन्होंने खुद कहा था कि यह टिप्पणी निंदा करने के लिए नहीं की थी.” राज्यसभा सांसद संजय राउत ने ट्वीट करते हुए कहा, "जिस कोर्ट ने राहुल गांधी को 2 साल की सजा सुनाई वो कोर्ट गुजरात में है, इसलिए कोई टिप्पणी नहीं! आरजेडी नेता और बिहार के उपमुख्यमंत्री तेजस्वी यादव ने राहुल गांधी को दोषी ठहराए जाने पर प्रतिक्रिया देते हुए कहा, ‘‘ये डरने का नहीं, लड़ने का वक्त है. यह वेबसाइट कुकीज़ या इसी तरह की तकनीकों का इस्तेमाल करती है, ताकि आपके ब्राउजिंग अनुभव को बेहतर बनाया जा सके और व्यक्तिगतर तौर पर इसकी सिफारिश करती है. दूसरी तरफ, भारतीय जनता पार्टी (बीजेपी) ने कहा कि अगर राहुल गांधी लोगों को ‘गाली’ देते हैं तो कानून अपना काम करेगा. उन्होंने कहा, “मैं देश में मौलिक अधिकारों, भाषण की स्वतंत्रता और लोकतांत्रिक अभिव्यक्ति को कम करने के प्रयासों पर अपनी गंभीर चिंता व्यक्त करता हूं. तमिलनाडु के मुख्यमंत्री एमके स्टालिन ने कहा कि उन्होंने 'भाई' राहुल गांधी से बात की और अपनी एकजुटता व्यक्त की. हमारे कांग्रेस से मतभेद हैं मगर राहुल गांधी जी को इस तरह मानहानि के मुकदमे में फंसाना ठीक नहीं. अदालत ने ‘मोदी सरनेम’ संबंधी बयान को लेकर राहुल गांधी को जमानत भी दे दी और उनकी सजा के अमल पर 30 दिनों तक के लिए रोक लगा दी, ताकि कांग्रेस नेता फैसले को चुनौती दे सकें. उन्होंने बताया कि इस आदेश को चुनौती देने की याचिका तैयार की जा रही है और इसे जिला और सत्र अदालत में दाखिल किया जाएगा. शाम में कांग्रेस अध्यक्ष मल्लिकार्जुन खरगे राज्य कांग्रेस के अध्यक्ष के साथ बैठक करेंगे.

After Rahul Gandhi's conviction: How an MP's disqualification happens (The Indian Express)

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was on Thursday held guilty and sentenced to two years in jail by a Surat court in a 2019 defamation case.

First, disqualification is triggered for conviction under certain offences listed in Section 8(1) of The Representation of The People Act. Significantly, the stay cannot merely be a suspension of sentence under Section 389 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), but a stay of conviction. First is through the Articles 102(1) and 191(1) for disqualification of a member of Parliament and a member of the Legislative Assembly respectively. The provision is aimed at “preventing criminalisation of politics” and keeping ‘tainted’ lawmakers from contesting elections. Significantly, the conviction triggers the process of his disqualification as a lawmaker. Section 9 deals with disqualification for dismissal for corruption or disloyalty, and for entering into government contracts while being a lawmaker.

On Thursday, Mr. A court in Surat on Thursday sentenced Gandhi to two years jail in a case filed against him over his “Modi surname” remarks. “We can’t blame all Gandhi surnames just because Rahul Gandhi insulted Indian democracy, our Armed forces & India’s Institutions. Rahul Gandhi made very derogatory remark and disgraced an entire OBC Community. “Now, Mr Gandhi calls the entire OBC community thieves, he gets flak in the Courts but refuses to apologise thus showing how deep rooted his hatred for OBCs is.

New Delhi: On March 23, 2023, the chief judicial magistrate, Surat, H.H. Varma, sentenced Congress MP Rahul Gandhi to two years imprisonment and also ...

Can the Lok Sabha ignore the Surat court’s suspension of his sentence, on the grounds that in Lily Thomas, a conviction which carries a sentence of two years and above is sufficient to attract disqualification? The question to ask, however, is whether the Lok Sabha can disqualify Rahul Gandhi hastily without awaiting the outcome of his plea for stay of his conviction. An issuance of process calling upon an individual to appear as an accused in a criminal case is a serious matter and if there is lack of material particulars and non-application of mind by the magistrate as to the materials, this cannot be brushed aside on the ground that it is only a procedural irregularity. Section 8(4) of the RPA said that disqualifications take effect only “after three months have elapsed” from the date of any conviction if, during that interregnum, the MP or MLA has not filed an appeal against the conviction or the sentence before a higher court. It also significantly states about the test of precision so that the collection of persons have a distinction. Furthermore, if it is not possible to ascertain the composition of such a class, the criminal prosecution cannot proceed. [Subramanian Swamy vs Union of India](https://globalfreedomofexpression.columbia.edu/cases/subramanian-swamy-v-union-india/#:~:text=The%20Supreme%20Court%20of%20India,petitioners%20charged%20with%20criminal%20defamation.) held that there is a heavy burden on the trial court judge to scrutinise the complaint from all aspects. However, in a key 2010 case, the Supreme Court has laid down the conditions under which a collection of persons can allege defamation. The court is then required to give the reason on whether to issue the summons or not. The judge must also keep in view the language employed in Section 202 CrPC, which deals with how to proceed when the accused is resident at a place beyond the area in which the trial court exercises its jurisdiction. Though no new evidence had come on record since the stay and the “pendency of the matter” was entirely at his own instance, [the complainant was granted the relief he sought.](https://www.livelaw.in/pdf_upload/purneshmodivsstateofgujarat-460317.pdf) An unusual aspect of this particular defamation case is that Purnesh Modi sought a stay from the high court on Gandhi’s trial last year and was successful in delaying proceedings for nearly 12 months.

Rahul Gandhi sentenced: Other instances when Congress leader's ... (India Today)

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was convicted in a 2019 defamation case by a Gujarat court for "why all thieves have Modi surname" remark.

Remarks on Amit Shah: A case was filed in May 2019 against Rahul Gandhi for allegedly referring to Union Home Minister Amit Shah as a “murder accused” during a Lok Sabha campaign speech in Jabalpur. Rahul Gandhi was summoned by a court in Mumbai for calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi “commander-in-thief” while attacking him over the Rafale deal. [Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said 'Make in India' but today](https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/rahul-gandhi-rape-in-india-comment-row-what-politicians-have-said-on-rape-1628049-2019-12-13) what we see is "Rape in India". Rahul Gandhi requested for permanent exemption from appearing in person. PM Modi had also said 'Beti bachao, beti padhao' (protect girls and educate them), but Modi didn't say whom the daughters should be protected from. In 2019, the Supreme Court of India dropped the contempt proceedings against Rahul Gandhi for attributing "chor" jibe against PM Narendra Modi. The case was filed under IPC 499 and 500, against Gandhi for his remark on a complaint lodged by BJP MLA from Surat West and former Gujarat minister Purnesh Modi in April 2019. The apex court asked Gandhi, being an important political person, to be more careful in future. The Wayanad MP was granted bail and the court suspended the sentence for 30 days to allow him to appeal in a higher court. BJP MP Meenakshi Lekhi moved the SC seeking contempt action against Gandhi for attributing his remarks on the Rafale verdict to the apex court. Let us take a look at a few instances when the former Congress chief's controversial remarks landed him in trouble: Here are five instances when the Congress leader's remark sparked controversy.
