Last week, he appeared in courts in Mumbai and Patna and was granted bail. He had alleged that the cases were filed by his political opponents to “harass and intimidate” him. The Surat court was on Tuesday hearing a complaint of BJP legislator Purnesh Modi who alleged that the Congress leader had defamed the entire Modi community with his remark that “how come all thieves have Modi as common sur- name” made during the Lok Sabha campaign. On May 2, court had ordered summons be issued to Gandhi through LS Speaker as he was an MP. But since there was no clarity over who would be the Speaker post-election, no summons was issued, said Purnesh Modi’s lawyer Hasmukh Lalwala. He had filed an application seeking the court issue a summons which could be directly served on Gandhi, which was accepted by the court on Tuesday, the lawyer said.    !"#$"!%
