National Herald case: HC dismisses Sonia, Rahul Gandhi's plea to quash summons

Delhi High Court today refused to quash lower court's summons to Sonia and Rahul Gandhi in the National Herald case. The Court also declines to grant them exemption from personal appearance before trial court in the matter. Justice Sunil Gaur dismissed their pleas which means they will have to appear before the trial court in the case. Apart from the Gandhis, the court also dismissed the pleas of Congress treasurer Motilal Vora, family friend Suman Dubey and party leader Oscar Fernandes who had moved the high court for quashing of summons to them by a trial court.<br/> On 26 June, the trial court issued summons to the Congress leaders on BJP leader Subramanian Swamy's complaint. He has complained about "cheating" and breacj of trusts in the acquisition of Associated Journals Limited – the publisher of National Herald – by a company called Young Indian Limited, in which the Gandhis reportedly hold shares. <br/> The Congress party and its lawyers have repeatedly said there was no wrongful gain or loss in the transaction.
