New Delhi, Aug 7: Lok Sabha membership of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was on Monday restored by the Lok Sabha Secretariat, three days after the Supreme Court stayed his conviction in a defamation case.
The Supreme Court on August 4 had stayed Gandhi’s conviction in a defamation case against him.
A Surat court had earlier found him guilty and handed him the maximum sentence of two years’ imprisonment — leading to his disqualification from the Lok Sabha.
The Gujarat High Court had refused to stay the conviction, after which Gandhi had appealed in the Supreme Court.
