Rahul Gandhi’s alleged British citizenship case has been reopened by the Allahabad High Court after new evidence was submitted through a review petition, adding a fresh dimension to the long-standing public interest litigation against him.
Today, On 14th May, The Allahabad High Court rejected a PIL demanding the cancellation of Rahul Gandhi’s Indian citizenship, stating there was “no evidence” to show he holds another passport or citizenship in any other country.
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.
