SultanpurRahul Gandhi spent 8 years in court over one remark.
A local Bharatiya Janata Party politician sued India’s opposition leader, and the court found he lacked standing, Gandhi’s lawyer said.
Gandhi called Amit Shah a murder accused in 2018, though a Mumbai court had discharged Shah in that case in 2014.
Gandhi’s lawyers have yet to read the full judgment, which will set out the court’s grounds.
