Delhi Court Sets Aside Order, Orders Fresh Probe into Sonia Gandhi Electoral Roll Case
A Delhi court set aside a magistrate's order that had dismissed a plea to investigate Congress leader Sonia Gandhi's alleged inclusion in the 1980 electoral roll before acquiring Indian citizenship in 1983. The court found the earlier order lacked reasoning and directed a fresh hearing, emphasizing the need for a reasoned inquiry into allegations of forgery and electoral roll tampering. The matter is scheduled for further proceedings on September 29. Sonia Gandhi has denied the allegations, calling them politically motivated.
