Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who was disqualified as a member of the Lok Sabha on Friday, is entitled to go back to the Speaker for revival of his MP status if he gets a judicial order from an appellate court staying his two-year jail sentence and conviction in a 2019 criminal defamation case, according to legal experts.
