Rahul Gandhi has filed an appeal against the criminal defamation case filed by a Surat court in 2019.

[{"selector":"#anim-c8280b37-d2eb-486a-b6e1-17bac0df23e1 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c08d3d70-afe6-4bfc-be9f-a71ed196131c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ac62e759-6ace-4d46-8c63-6304a1ea8d28","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 143.86830%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bef33ab0-46be-4bc3-931d-9ac50de83ba0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bbf4bc5f-ed3c-4794-abf9-b28b288419df","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -311.93427%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The case was filed against him for his remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

[{"selector":"#anim-37a7c83f-941c-4bc0-9a1b-2787f56214a6 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-36.55273431608181%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-edb9c549-1754-4f6e-aa68-9a7e9ca83eb6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-406bdfd4-dfba-451c-b663-38ca12404efa","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 152.40902%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c3f7852c-94ab-4e78-936c-af78e8f79bb4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b0fae941-03a4-4d80-96b8-fa4bfbe89505","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -311.93427%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Gandhi's lawyers have put forth seven arguments challenging the case.

[{"selector":"#anim-1018c31b-89ef-4327-8c62-85693ac0f607 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-3.552713678800501e-15%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3710e9fa-a36d-4ff5-b58b-3e676d16d3f3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bb7a29fb-b1fa-4c92-affd-6f087c58b1ec","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 154.83536%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-424bb0e1-0686-4e6d-9eec-0bccabd7fba9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-47441bfe-f54a-4713-a70a-a7120e3d1016","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -311.93427%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

One of the arguments states that only Narendra Modi could have filed the defamation case, not all individuals with the Modi surname.

[{"selector":"#anim-8c0d44a6-a1ab-4379-a194-277b0df0f728 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8920ce3f-3e22-4f0f-ba1c-eb04cd18042d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e01eb4d7-754b-49fb-b4c0-cd94253275e8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 138.92258%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-07cc3dbd-621e-4096-98be-1627ad4905ec","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9245b58c-1e3f-4120-9a9c-cb191a5e61ff","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -311.93427%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Another argument claims that Gandhi's statement was made in the course of political discourse and should not be considered defamation.

[{"selector":"#anim-99faa082-e172-4977-992f-22681f6fdd84 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.488281022380349%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0497ef17-2e0c-4cc5-a7c0-5cac6dd8600e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1a73ade6-d0dc-4e7b-baee-fca9d5ac9961","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 138.20786%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-88c530f4-c9f3-4a4a-81f4-84fe289024ee","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c6e6d1fa-a46f-48ee-9411-08a055fc89d6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -311.93427%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The appeal also argues that the lower court did not follow proper procedure in summoning Gandhi to appear before it.

[{"selector":"#anim-ad9cc562-1a93-45a9-9535-5ef717b2aebb [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-11.08203082334113%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ed911c91-123e-4c0d-b527-74356f3faa52","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a092ad84-63e5-4aef-8ead-60637d1ea988","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 142.60590%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c3607316-f806-40a6-bde2-8bb7b00a5550","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c181151a-4f2d-460a-8a0e-d7d50a026815","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -311.93427%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Gandhi's legal team has requested that the case be quashed and Rahul Gandhi be acquitted.
