Government Legal
Event Summary

A India — Delhi court dismissed a plea filed by Vikas Tripathi, represented by senior advocate Pavan Narang, seeking action against Sonia Gandhi. The plea alleged that Sonia Gandhi's name was entered into the New India — Delhi electoral rolls in January 1980, three years before she acquired Indian citizenship in 1983. The complainant claimed forgery and cheating of public authority, citing that her name was deleted in 1982 by the India — Election Commission of India alongside Sanjay Gandhi's, and then re-entered in 1983. The court's dismissal of the plea means no further investigation or FIR will be registered against Sonia Gandhi on this matter.
