The Supreme Court stopped short of implying any foul play within the judiciary, however.
When the Surat court issued its ruling, Mr. Gandhi was forced out of the official residence where he had lived for 19 years, and his ability to run for office in next year’s election was thrown into doubt.
After the Supreme Court handed down its decision on Friday, Mr. Gandhi struck an upbeat note, albeit in keeping with a stoical persona he has been developing in his campaign against Mr. Modi.
“This is not one to celebrate but weep,” Praveen Chakravarty, a close adviser of Mr. Gandhi’s, posted on Twitter.
“An orchestrated judgment in a bogus case by a friendly court had to be rectified by the SC, when 70,000 cases are pending.
