The sub divisional judicial magistrate (SDJM), Ranchi on Tuesday took cognisance of a defamation suit filed by a Bhartiya Janta Yuva Morcha (BJYM) member against Congress president Rahul Gandhi for his alleged remarks against BJP president and directed to issue a summon to the congress leader.
The petition was filed by BJYM member Naveen Kumar Jha for Rahul Gandhi’s alleged comm nt that a murderer could become party president in BJP.
Lawyer Vinod Kumar Sahu said SDJM court took cognisance after the Principal Judicial Commissioner (PJC) Nanvneet Kumar had allowed the revision petition in the case and directed the SDJM Ajay Kumar Gudia to issue fresh order.
The SDJM court had earlier rejected the defamation petition after a hearing.
