Reports said the court asked Gandhi to appear in person on September 29.
An RSS volunteer had filed a criminal defamation case against Gandhi, claiming that he had tarnished the organisation's image by saying he was not allowed by RSS members to enter Barpeta Satra, a Vaishnavite monastery in Assam on December 12, 2015.
Bora claimed that Gandhi did not go to Satra and he took part in a padyatra on that day.
