The Delhi HC on Friday issued notices to BJP leader Subramanian Swamy and the Delhi government on a plea filed by Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul. The petition was filed by the Congress president and Rahul against the summons issued to them for allegedly cheating and misappropriating funds of a company that published the now defunct National Herald newspaper.
Justice VP Vaish sought response from Swamy and the Delhi government by 5 August. A trial court had on 26 June issued summons to the Gandhis and four others — Congress treasurer Moti Lal Vora, general secretary Oscar Fernandes and Young Indian Private Ltd. directors Suman Dubey and Sam Pitroda — asking them to appear before it on 7 August.
