National Herald Case LIVE: Delhi Court Refuses To Take Cognisance Of ED Case Against Gandhis
In a major development in the National Herald case, a Delhi court on Tuesday refused to take note of the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) prosecution complaint against Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi, dealing a setback to the agency’s money laundering case.
Judge Vishal Gogne held that cognizance of the ED’s case cannot be taken at this stage as it is based on a private complaint filed by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy and the summoning orders passed by a magistrate, and not on an FIR. The court categorically observed that a private complaint cannot be the basis of a money laundering case and accordingly rejected the ED’s chargesheet, saying, “Complaint dismissed.”
Delhi’s Rouse Avenue court, however, clarified that the ED can continue its investigation, noting that the Delhi Police have now registered a fresh FIR in the National Herald matter and the agency has stated that further investigation is underway. The court said the ED may make further submissions in the case, if required, based on the FIR.
Separately, the court also ruled that Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, and other accused named in the Delhi Police FIR are not entitled to a copy of the FIR at this stage. Justice Gogne set aside a magistrate’s earlier order that had directed the Delhi Police to supply the FIR copy to the accused. However, the court clarified that the accused must be informed that an FIR has been registered.
