Relief for Rahul Gandhi as Karnataka HC quashes BJP’s defamation case over 2023 ‘graft’ advertisement

The court found that the advertisement, which alleged a 'corruption rate card' against the then state government, did not directly implicate the Congress MP or his party. Procedural lapses by the complainant were also highlighted, indicating a casual approach.
