The Supreme Court on Thursday closed the contempt proceedings against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his ‘chowkidar chor hai’. Rahul Gandhi faced contempt charges for wrongly attributing the ‘chowkidar chow hai’ remark to the Supreme Court.
WHAT IS THE CASE
Rahul Gandhi had made the remarks on April 10, the day the Supreme Court had dismissed the Centre’s preliminary objections over admissibility of certain documents for supporting the review petitions against the December 14 last year verdict in the Rafale case.
While commenting on the Supreme Court’s decision, Rahul Gandhi — then the Congress president — ended up attributing the ‘chowkidar chor hai’ remark to the court.
