Supreme Court Extends Stay on Rahul Gandhi Probe; Delhi HC to Hear ED Plea in National Herald Case
The Supreme Court extended a stay on investigations by the CBI and ED against Rahul Gandhi in a disproportionate assets case, postponing further proceedings. Meanwhile, the Delhi High Court scheduled an October 12 hearing on the ED's plea challenging a trial court's refusal to take cognisance of its charge sheet against Sonia and Rahul Gandhi in the National Herald money laundering case. The Gandhis argue the case is based on a private complaint by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy, which they say is legally insufficient under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. They label the ED's petition an 'abuse of process of law' and question the agency's selective approach, citing delays and procedural concerns.
