National Herald case : Court dismisses petition against Gandhis

New Delhi, Dec 26 (IBNS) : In a big relief for Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Vice-President Rahul Gandhi, Patiala House court on Tuesday dismissed BJP leader Subramanian Swamy’s plea seeking documents related to the National Herald case, reports said.

The court set the next date of hearing on February ten.

Swamy had sought documents and ledger books maintained by the Congress party and Associated Journals Limited.

Swamy in his petition had alleged that  Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi got hold of Associated Journals through ‘dishonest means’ which pertains to ‘criminal misappropriation and criminal breach of trust’.

However the defence counsel, appearing for Gandhi, said Swami filed a complaint in July 2013 which has no reference regarding the loan borrowed from the Congress.

Gandhis' counsel also  argued that the details of loan were never mentioned in the returns and the documents Swami asked are not necessary for this case.
