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.
