The Delhi High Court will on Monday (April 20, 2026) hear a plea by the ED challenging the trial court’s order that refused to take cognisance of its charge sheet against Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and others in the National Herald-linked money laundering case.
The case is listed for hearing before Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma.
On December 22, the high court had issued notice to the Gandhis and others on the main petition as well as on the ED’s application seeking a stay on the December 16, 2025 trial court order, which held that cognisance of the agency’s complaint in the case was “impermissible in law” as it was not founded on an FIR.
