Today, On 22nd December, The Delhi High Court has sought responses from Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi on the Enforcement Directorate’s challenge to dismissal of the National Herald complaint, listing the matter for hearing on 12 March.
The Supreme Court set aside a Patna High Court order that quashed a cheque dishonour complaint, holding that the High Court wrongly conducted a “roving enquiry” at the pre-trial stage. The apex court restored the complaint, saying a prima facie case under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act was made out.
A Delhi court has issued notices to Rahul and Sonia Gandhi in the National Herald case concerning allegations of financial misappropriation exceeding ₹2,000 crore. The Enforcement Directorate claims improper asset control linked to a questionable loan from Congress to Young Indian. The next hearing is scheduled for May 8, allowing the accused to respond.
