In a significant legal development, a Delhi court has refused to take cognizance of the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) charge sheet in the National Herald case against Congress leaders Sonia and Rahul Gandhi. The court ruled that the ED’s case, stemming from a private complaint by Subramanian Swamy, lacked the necessary predicate FIR. Senior Advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi welcomed the order, arguing, ‘This is a very weird case where there is not a millimeter movement of money… AJL is now owned 90% by another company, Young India.’ However, India Today’s Senior Editor Munish Pandey reports that ED sources view this merely as a technical setback. The agency intends to file a fresh charge sheet based on a new FIR registered by the Delhi Police Economic Offences Wing (EOW). Anchor Sneha Mordani and Legal Correspondent Srishti Oja analyse the implications of this order.
