India is gearing up for General Elections in May 2024, but one prominent leader may not be able to contest: Rahul Gandhi. The former Congress president has been disqualified from being an MP after he was convicted and sentenced by a local court in Surat, Gujarat, for defamation. This led to his automatic disqualification under the Representation of the People Act. Although he has been granted bail and has 30 days to appeal in a higher court, he cannot contest any election unless his disqualification is overturned. He will also remain disqualified six years after his term ends. Does Rahul Gandhi have any legal avenues to challenge the conviction and the disqualification?
