National Herald: Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi move Supreme Court
The Delhi High Court order had refused to quash summons issued against Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi by a trial court in connection with the case.
Journalist Suman Dubey, technocrat Sam Pitroda have also approached the court in connection with the case.
National Herald newspaper was started by former prime minister Jawahar Lal Nehru in 1938 during the freedom struggle. It originally served as a mouthpiece of the Congress. Over the decades circulation and finances dropped, before it finally closed in 2008 with a debt of Rs 90 crore.
In 2014, the trial court asked Sonia and Rahul to appear in the case. On December 7, 2015, the high court dismissed their appeal and asked questions about the legality of the unsecured loan. They were also directed to appear before the trial court.
