Indian opposition leader Rahul Gandhi has filed an appeal against his conviction and jail sentence in a criminal defamation case.
The court in Gujarat state granted him bail until the next hearing on 13 April.
Rahul Gandhi had been sentenced to two years in jail for 2019 comments about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s surname at an election rally.
The Congress leader was also later disqualified as a lawmaker.
Opposition leaders have accused the governing Bharatiya Janata Party of a political vendetta.
