If the matter was that serious, why did the probe agencies kept quiet, the Supreme Court on Monday asked the lawyer representing the central investigating agencies in the alleged disproportionate case against Rahul Gandhi.
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.
