Delhi Court Sets Aside Order Refusing Probe into Sonia Gandhi's Electoral Roll Entry
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 electoral roll before acquiring Indian citizenship in 1983. The court described the earlier order as "non-speaking" and lacking legal reasoning, remanding the matter back for fresh consideration. The petitioner alleges fraudulent use of documents for her 1980 voter list entry, which was reportedly deleted in 1982 and re-entered in 1983. The next hearing is scheduled for September 29.
