The Supreme Court on Tuesday (October 13, 2026) stayed further proceedings in a defamation case before a trial court in Maharashtra against Congress MP Rahul Gandhi over his remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2019.

A Bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Aparesh Kumar Singh issued notices to the Maharashtra government and the complainant, M H. Shrishrimal, seeking their responses in four weeks.

"Issue notice returnable in four weeks. Further proceedings before the trial court shall remain stayed," the Bench ordered on a plea filed by Mr. Gandhi against a September 8 order of the Bombay High Court refusing to quash summons to him.
