Herald case: HC reserves order on Cong leaders' plea

 Delhi High Court on Monday reserved its order on pleas filed by the Congress leaders against the trial court order summoning documents from Ministries of Finance and Corporate Affairs, other agencies and the balance sheet of the party for 2010-2011 in the National Herald case.

“Order reserved,” Justice P S Teji said after the counsel appearing for petitioners concluded their rebuttal arguments in the matter.

Congress President Sonia Gandhi, her son Rahul Gandhi, party leaders Motilal Vora,
Oscar Fernandes, Suman Dubey, Sam Pitroda and Young Indian Pvt Ltd (YI) are accused in National Herald case filed by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy.

Swamy has accused them of conspiring to cheat and misappropriate funds by just paying Rs 50 lakh by which YI obtained the right to recover Rs 90.25 crore which Associated Journals Pvt Ltd (AJL) owed to the Congress party.
