Delhi Court Sets Aside Order Refusing Probe in Sonia Gandhi Voter List Case

A Delhi court has set aside a magistrate's order that refused to investigate allegations of forgery in Sonia Gandhi's inclusion in the electoral roll before she became an Indian citizen. The court described the earlier order as 'perverse' and lacking reasoning, reviving the complaint against her.

The complaint alleges that Sonia Gandhi became a voter prior to acquiring Indian citizenship in 1983, raising questions about the legitimacy of her electoral entry. The court noted that the earlier magistrate order showed non-application of mind and was non-speaking. Legal experts involved in the case are seeking an investigation into forged documents and fraud related to the electoral roll entry. They aim to demonstrate to the court that only through forgery or fraudulent means could the inclusion have occurred.
