NEW DELHI: A Delhi court on Friday temporarily refused to issue notice to Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul in the National Herald case as it asked the Enforcement Directorate to "bring more relevant document and cure the defects."
“I cannot pass such an order until satisfied,” the judge said when the investigative agency urged, “We don’t want this order to be prolonged. Let notice be issued.”
The matter has been scheduled for hearing on May 2.
ED filed chargesheet in the National Herald money laundering case on April 9, marking a step toward initiating criminal charges and trial against former Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Lok Sabha opposition leader Rahul Gandhi . The case involves alleged proceeds of crime amounting to Rs 5,000 crore.
According to the agency sources, the chargesheet names five individuals and two companies as accused. Among them is Young Indian, a company in which the Gandhis hold a controlling interest. Other accused include close family associates of the Gandhis, such as Sam Pitroda, who leads the Congress's overseas unit, and Suman Dubey.
It has reportedly submitted documentary evidence detailing the money trail and related transactions to back its allegations. Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, along with former Congress treasurers Motilal Vora and Oscar Fernandes, have been questioned multiple times over the past few years, and their statements are believed to be included in the prosecution complaint.
