Supreme Court to Hear Rahul Gandhi's Plea Against Allahabad HC Order on Assets Probe
The Supreme Court will hear Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's plea on August 17 challenging the Allahabad High Court's order directing the CBI and Enforcement Directorate to investigate allegations of disproportionate assets against him. The High Court expressed dissatisfaction with the CBI's progress and required a senior officer to file a fresh affidavit. The petition was filed by BJP worker S. Vignesh Shishir, who also alleged dual citizenship. The ED may proceed if it finds evidence of illegality during its inquiry.
