Delhi High Court Grants Three Weeks to Gandhis to Respond in National Herald Case
The Delhi High Court has granted Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and others three weeks to respond to the Enforcement Directorate's plea challenging a trial court order that declined to take cognisance of its money laundering chargesheet in the National Herald case. The court will next hear the matter on September 10. The ED alleges conspiracy and money laundering involving properties worth around Rs 2,000 crore linked to Associated Journals Limited. The trial court had ruled the chargesheet was not based on a valid FIR, a point contested by the ED.
