SC throws out plea to debar Rahul Gandhi from contesting polls
The Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed a public interest litigation (PIL) petition to debar Congress president Rahul Gandhi from contesting the Lok Sabha polls and “becoming a Member of Parliament” after he had “voluntarily acquired British nationality.”
The petition alleged that Mr. Gandhi acquired British nationality on the basis of an incorporation certificate of BACKOPS Limited, a defunct company in that country, and returns filed by it.
The plea was filed by Jai Bhagwan Goyal, a "social worker", shortly after the Ministry of Home Affairs issued notice to Mr. Gandhi on the question of his "dual citizenship."
