Indrani Mukerjea, accused in the Sheena Bora murder case, seeks Supreme Court approval for international travel despite a Bombay High Court ruling against it. A special court initially permitted her visit to Spain and the UK for ten days. Mukerjea argues her presence is vital for necessary administrative tasks. The court’s decision is pending.
The Allahabad High Court Today (July 1st) dismissed a PIL (Public Interest Litigation) as withdrawn, with liberty to approach the appropriate forum, which sought to invalidate the election of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi as the Member of Parliament (MP) from the RaeBareli Lok Sabha constituency. The PIL alleged that Gandhi is not an Indian citizen but a British citizen, making him ineligible to contest in the Lok Sabha polls.
The Allahabad High Court heard a PIL seeking Rahul Gandhi’s Lok Sabha membership cancellation. Advocate Pandey, representing the petitioner, argued that Rahul Gandhi is ineligible due to alleged British citizenship. The court questioned Pandey’s submission of the required deposit, based on his frequent PIL filings for publicity. The judge also objected to the presence of other petitioners and reporters in the courtroom.
