00:00The case was filed by Satyaki Sawarkar, V. S. Sawarkar's nephew.
00:29The case was regarding defamatory words used by Rahul Gandhi at one occasion.
00:39Accordingly, till today the court proceedings were somewhat conducted, but Rahul Gandhi didn't appear prior to today's date.
00:52So today, through video conference, he appeared, to which we objected that there is no such provision for accused.
00:59Still to date, this facility is not used in other matters.
01:05So, accordingly, we objected for it, but still the court, considering the circumstances, granted him permission.
01:16Also, through video conferencing, he furnished his bail.
01:19Court has allowed his bail.
01:21And next hearing will be on 18th of Feb.
01:25It is for pre-recording.
01:35Previous hearings, he didn't appear.
01:37So, we filed various applications in which we prayed to the court that non-bailable warrant be issued against him, 174 IPC.
01:50And, say, sort of, he has contempted the court's order.
01:57Even receiving summons, he didn't appear.
02:01But, the court has rejected our applications.
02:05And bail has been granted to him.
02:08Being a bailable case, it was the right of the accused for getting bail.
02:16So, accordingly, he has been granted bail by court.

03:15And he was supposed to remain present before the court.
