The Supreme Court on Monday extended the relief granted to Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi by continuing the stay order restraining the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) from proceeding further on allegations of disproportionate assets pending against him before a Uttar Pradesh court
The Supreme Court extended the stay order restraining Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Enforcement Directorate (ED) from proceeding with allegations of disproportionate assets against Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Monday. The bench, headed by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, adjourned the matter as the complainant S Vignesh Shishir filed an affidavit that was not available on the court files.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta also requested time to file a response. The court will revisit the matter in three weeks. Gandhi alleged that Shishir, a BJP worker, seeks to conduct a "witchhunt," while Shishir claimed that Gandhi held a British passport in addition to his Indian one.
