The Supreme Court raised concerns on Monday regarding the actions of central investigating agencies in the alleged disproportionate assets case against Rahul Gandhi. The court questioned why these agencies had remained silent if the situation was as serious as claimed. This inquiry highlights ongoing scrutiny surrounding the case and the agencies involved.
The Supreme Court asked the Allahabad High Court not to proceed with the alleged disproportionate assets case against Rahul Gandhi.
The top court asked the Allahabad High Court not to proceed with the case against the Congress leader. It also directed the CBI and the Enforcement Directorate not to submit any probe report to any authority, including the Allahabad High Court, in connection with the alleged assets case arising from an investigation ordered by the high court. The bench, comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana, was hearing a plea filed by the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, against the high court order. “We are not concerned with that… Suppose somebody commits murder, etc., police do not need permission.
It asked the Allahabad High Court to defer its August 20 hearing in the matter until it hears the case next.
But what appears to us is, subject to the assistance provided to us from both sides, if the court wants to issue a direction, it is expected to follow the principle of natural justice,” the Chief Justice said.
