Delhi court issues notice to Sonia Gandhi on challenge to alleged 1980–81 electoral roll entry
- On Tuesday, December 9, 2025, a Sessions Court at Rouse Avenue sought responses from former Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Delhi Police in a criminal revision petition challenging a magistrate's refusal to order an FIR over an alleged long-ago electoral-roll entry three years before citizenship.
- Petitioner Vikas Tripathi alleges the contested enrollment occurred long ago before citizenship, claiming Sonia Gandhi's name was added, deleted, and re-included in the New Delhi parliamentary constituency electoral roll before she became a citizen.
- The ACJM Chaurasia dismissed the complaint as relying on an uncertified electoral extract, stating it appeared fashioned to create jurisdiction, despite the revisionist placing attested copies from the Election Commission of India on record.
- The Sessions Court scheduled a further hearing for January 6 and the prosecutor who accepted notice on behalf of the State confirmed the petitioner who earlier visited police seeking registration of an FIR, keeping investigation prospects open.
- Court orders and legal claims position election records for closer judicial review as the Trial Court Record is summoned and Pavan Narang argued the Representation of the People Act allows only citizens to be enrolled, citing alleged forged documents.
