Delhi high
court, giving a shocking decision in the matter of national herald, has
dismissed the writ petition of congress president Sonia Gandhi and
vice-president Rahul Gandhi. The court has dismissed the petition of Sonia
Gandhi, which she had challenged the issued summon by the trial court. This
result has confirmed their presence in the court whenever the trial court will
hear the case. The case is in Patiala house.
After the
decision where Sonia and Rahul’s presence on Tuesday may have to be there for
the service of summons, the congress is intending to go Supreme Court against
the decision. Abhishek Manu Singhvi, congress spokesperson, said, ironically
that the court gave its verdict on the bench had not been listed in the cause
list. It was communicated telephonically in the morning.
It is
noticeable that the BJP leader and advocate Subramanian Swamy filed a writ
petition, a lower court had issued the summons to Sonia and Rahul to hear the
case of National Herald, but both of them filed an appeal in high court against
the petition.
The
Associate Journal Limited(TAJL) is the owner company of National Herald News
paper. The Congress took the responsibility of TAJL’s indebted of Rs 90 crore
on 25 February 2011. This means the party sanctioned the loan to TAJL of Rs 90
crore. After this the Rs 5 lacs were spent to registered the 'YOUNG INDIAN
COMPANY', which have Sonia and Rahul share 38% equally remaining 24% share was
possessed by Motilal Vohra and Oscar Fernandez.
9 crore shares each worth Rs 10
of TAJL later were entrusted to ‘Young Indian’, and it was to pay back the loan
of congress. 'Young Indian' got the
possession of 99% shares of TAJL with these 9 crore shares. The congress gave
up of 90 crore loan. 'Young Indian' got the ownership of TAJL cost free.
Subramanian Swamy’s suspicion is that all the episode of Rs 90 crore is hawala
case.
Swamy alleged that all the
episode is to take the possession of Herald House building at Bahadur Shah
Zafar street Delhi worth 1600 crore. The BJP leader has stated in his plaint
that the central government had allotted the land to Herald House--- the land
cannot be utilized for the commercial purpose.
