Rajasthan axes counsel for role in case against Rahul


Jaipur, Apr 17 (IANS): The Rajasthan government on Wednesday dismissed its standing counsel in the Supreme Court after it was revealed that she was the advocate-on-record in a contempt plea filed by BJP MP Meenakshi Lekhi against Rahul Gandhi in Rafale case.

"Ms Ruchi Kohli, advocate-on-record, Supreme court, New Delhi is relieved from her duties with immediate effect," said the order issued by Mahaveer Prasad Sharma, Principal Secretary, Law and Legal Affairs.
