New Delhi: In a major relief to Rahul Gandhi, the Supreme Court on Monday asked the Allahabad High Court not to proceed with a case involving allegations of disproportionate assets against the Congress leader.
The top court also asked the CBI and the ED not to file any report in pursuance of the directions of the high court in the case lodged against the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha.
A bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana took note of the submissions of senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for Gandhi, and issued notices to Karnataka resident S Vignesh Shishir, who filed the plea in the high court, the CBI and the ED.
The bench was hearing a plea filed by Gandhi against the high court order.
