YouTuber Dhruv Rathi faces fresh summons in eight-year-old court case

Saket Court in Delhi has directed that summons be issued afresh to Dhruv Rathi at his Gurugram address in relation to a legal matter pending for the past eight years, according to court orders issued on Wednesday.

The development marks another legal complication for the content creator, who has faced multiple cases covering allegations ranging from defamation to remarks on religious matters. The fresh summons directive comes as the court prepares for the next phase of proceedings in the long-pending case.

Rathi, who runs a widely-followed YouTube channel focused on political commentary and current affairs, has been entangled in several legal disputes over the past years. The court has scheduled the next hearing for October 17 to address the matter further.

The issuance of fresh summons suggests that previous attempts to serve notice on the YouTuber may not have been successful, prompting the court to direct that the process be repeated at his Gurugram residence.
