Gandhi Cautioned by Court in Savarkar Defamation Case
Pune, India – December 4, 2025 (IST) – A special court in Pune, hearing a defamation case against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, has cautioned him against commenting on court orders related to the case that have become final or have not been challenged. The case stems from a complaint filed by Satyaki Savarkar, the grand nephew of Hindutva ideologue V.D. Savarkar, regarding remarks Gandhi allegedly made in London in March 2023.
Gandhi’s lawyer, Advocate Milind Pawar, had filed an application alleging that Satyaki Savarkar used undue pressure to secure a summons in 2023. However, Advocate Sangram Kolhatkar, representing Satyaki, objected to the application, arguing that it questioned the integrity of the court’s prior proceedings, when it issued a summons based on evidence presented at the time.
Judge Amol S. Shinde sided with the complainant, stating that Gandhi’s application cast doubt on the court’s functioning. The judge directed Gandhi to either accept the court’s orders or challenge them in a higher court, refraining from public commentary on unchallenged or finalized orders.
The defamation complaint alleges that Gandhi falsely attributed to V.D. Savarkar writing about an incident in which he and his friends allegedly beat up a Muslim man and Savarkar felt happy. The complaint claims that Savarkar never wrote of such an event, making the claim defamatory.
The court proceedings took place on December 3, 2025.
