Supreme Court Directs Allahabad HC to Defer Proceedings in Rahul Gandhi Assets Case
The Supreme Court has directed the Allahabad High Court to defer proceedings in a case alleging disproportionate assets against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. The apex court also restrained the CBI and Enforcement Directorate from filing reports related to the case. The matter originated from a petition by BJP worker S Vignesh Shishir, who alleged Gandhi held assets disproportionate to his income. Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, representing Gandhi, challenged the proceedings as a 'witch-hunt.' The Supreme Court will further examine the case.
