New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Friday issued notice to BJP leader Subramanian Swamy on a batch of petitions filed by Congress President Sonia Gandhi and others in the case of alleged cheating and misappropriation of funds in acquiring ownership of the now-defunct daily National Herald.
A bench of Justice V.P. Vaish has fixed the petitions for hearing on August 5. Former law minister and senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for Sonia Gandhi, sought a stay on the proceedings pending in the trial court.
During the brief hearing, Mr Swamy alleged that the petitions have been filed without him being served with copies of petitions. The Congress leaders have challenged the lower court’s orders summoning them on a complaint by Mr Swamy alleging cheating and misappropriation of funds in the acquisition of the daily by Young Indian.
