Delhi Court Issues Notice to Sonia Gandhi
A court in Delhi has asked Sonia Gandhi, who is a leader of the Congress party, to respond to a complaint.
The complaint is about her name being listed in the voter list for the years 1980-81, which was before she became an Indian citizen.
A lower court had earlier decided not to look into this complaint, but now a higher court wants to check it again.
The next hearing is scheduled for January 6, 2026.
The court has also asked for more information from the lower court to understand the case better.
Some people say that documents might have been forged to include her name in the voter list, while others say these claims are baseless.
This case is important because it could affect how similar cases are handled in the future, especially before the upcoming elections in Bengal.
Delhi Sessions Court has issued a notice to Sonia Gandhi regarding a challenge to her alleged inclusion in the 1980-81 electoral rolls.
The court is examining a revision plea against a Magistrate's decision to dismiss the original complaint.
The matter is scheduled for hearing on January 6, 2026.
The court has also issued a notice to the Delhi Police and called for the trial court record.
The complainant alleges that Sonia Gandhi's name was included in the voter list in 1980, three years before she became an Indian citizen, suggesting possible forgery.
