New Delhi: The Congress on Thursday termed "
erroneous and unsustainable" a Surat court judgement rejecting Rahul Gandhi's appeal in a defamation case related to his "
Modi surname" remark, and said the judge seems "over-shadowed" by the high office of the prime minister.
Congress senior spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi said they would move the High Court "very shortly" as the judgement is "fallacious" and contrary to all basic principles of law.
The court of Additional Sessions Judge R P Mogera rejected Gandhi's application for a relief against a magisterial court order sentencing him to two years in jail in the defamation case.
