The Allahabad High Court has postponed the hearing on a petition challenging a Sambhal court order that refused to register an FIR against Rahul Gandhi. The case relates to his alleged remark about fighting the BJP, RSS, and the “Indian State,” with the next hearing scheduled for March 25.
The Allahabad High Court on Wednesday adjourned the hearing of a petition that challenges a Sambhal court’s order refusing to direct registration of a First Information Report (FIR) against Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha. The petition relates to Gandhi’s alleged controversial remarks made in 2025.
Justice Samit Gopal postponed the hearing after the counsel appearing for the petitioner requested additional time. Accepting the request, the court scheduled the next hearing of the matter for March 25.
The petition was filed by Simran Gupta, who approached the High Court after a court in Sambhal rejected her application seeking the registration of an FIR against Gandhi. Gupta has argued that Gandhi made remarks in 2025 during the inauguration ceremony of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) office which she claims were objectionable and offensive to public sentiment.
According to the petitioner, during the event Gandhi allegedly stated,
“We are now fighting the BJP, the RSS, and the Indian State itself.”
Gupta contended that this statement hurt the sentiments of citizens across the country and should be treated as a serious offence. She further alleged that the remarks were not merely political criticism but amounted to a statement against the nation itself.
In her petition, Gupta argued that Gandhi’s alleged remark should be viewed as a deliberate and serious statement aimed at creating instability. She claimed that the comment amounts to a seditious and anti-national statement made with the intention of destabilising the country.
The matter reached the Allahabad High Court after the Sambhal court earlier rejected her plea seeking registration of an FIR against the Congress leader. Challenging that order, Gupta moved the High Court seeking judicial intervention.
During Wednesday’s proceedings, the petitioner’s counsel sought time to place additional material before the court. The bench allowed the request and adjourned the hearing.
Earlier, while dealing with the matter, the High Court had already granted time to the petitioner for filing further documents. In its order dated February 11, the court had recorded the submission made by the counsel and noted,
“Learned counsel for the petitioner(s) states that he wants to file a supplementary affidavit and prays for two weeks’ time for the same. Prayer is allowed.”
With the adjournment granted on Wednesday, the court will now take up the case again on March 25. The outcome of the petition will determine whether further legal action can be pursued regarding the alleged remarks attributed to Gandhi.
