Hearing in Sonia Gandhi’s voter list case adjourned; know the full story

New Delhi: A hearing was held on Monday (January 5) at the Rouse Avenue Court in Delhi in the voter list case involving Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi. During the hearing, the lawyer representing the Congress party requested additional time from the court to file a response. The hearing on the revision petition filed against Sonia Gandhi has been adjourned. The next hearing will be held on February 7.

This case is related to a revision petition filed by advocate Vikas Tripathi. The petition alleges that Sonia Gandhi’s name was included in the voter list before she obtained Indian citizenship. Based on this allegation, Vikas Tripathi had demanded that an FIR be registered, which the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate had already dismissed.

What is the whole case?
The petition filed against Sonia Gandhi states that she obtained citizenship on April 30, 1983, while her name was included in the 1980 voter list. The petition questioned how her name was included in the 1980 New Delhi voter list. The petition also alleged that Sonia Gandhi’s name was deleted from the voter list in 1982. The petition questioned on what basis her name was included in the 1980 voter list when she obtained citizenship in 1983. Was it done using forged documents?

Congress calls it a legal process
It is worth noting that this case has become a topic of discussion in political circles because it directly involves a senior leader and chairperson of the Congress Parliamentary Party. The Congress party has called it a legal process and said that all the facts will be presented before the court. Although the demand for registering an FIR has been rejected, the hearing on the revision petition continues. In the hearing on February 7, the court will decide on further action.
