Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has approached the Allahabad High Court against an order of a special MP-MLA court of Varanasi that had directed a subordinate court to hear afresh an application seeking registration of an FIR against him for his statement on Sikhs made during a 2024 U.S. visit.

The matter is listed before a single bench of Justice Sameer Jain for hearing on Monday (September 1, 2025).
