Rahul Gandhi urges Supreme Court to take over high court asset probe
Rahul Gandhi has asked the Supreme Court to move a public interest litigation on his alleged disproportionate assets from the Allahabad High Court to a higher forum, citing concerns over fairness.
The Lok Sabha member contended that the July-20 ex-parte order from the Allahabad High Court, which directed investigations by the CBI and ED, lacked reference to any essential material. He argued that shifting the case would uphold justice and maintain public confidence in the judiciary. Gandhi’s petition seeks either a transfer to the Supreme Court or another high court. The request highlights ongoing legal battles over his financial disclosures.
Why it matters
The petition could affect how high-profile political figures are investigated and perceived by the public.
