Delhi Court Sets Aside Order, Revives Probe into Sonia Gandhi Electoral Roll Case
A Delhi court set aside a magistrate's order that had dismissed a complaint alleging Congress leader Sonia Gandhi's name was included in electoral rolls three years before she acquired Indian citizenship in 1983. The court described the earlier order as 'non-speaking' and lacking reasoning, remanding the case for fresh consideration. The matter is scheduled for further hearing on September 29. The allegations involve possible use of forged documents and question the sequence of her name's inclusion and deletion from voter lists.
