Congress leader Rahul Gandhi turned to the High Court in Allahabad against the order of a special court in Varanasi, ordered by a subordinate court to re -hear the application for registration against him for his declaration of Sikhs made during a US visit in 2024.
This matter is listed before a single bench of justice Sameer Jain for hearing on Monday (September 1, 2025).
Another chief judge (ACJM MP-MLA), Varanasi, on November 28, 2024, rejected Nageshwar Misra’s request, who was looking for a company registration against Gandhi, and observed that when the speech was presented in the US, this matter was beyond its jurisdiction.
This order was attacked by Rao in court by the Sessions and the Court of Special Judge (MP / MLA) on 21 July 2025 ordered ACJM to hear the matter again.
Now Mr. Gandhi has filed a petition against this decision in Allahabad High Court. It was argued that the Special Court’s order was “incorrect, illegal and without jurisdiction”.
During the US program in September 2024, Rahul Gandhi reportedly stated that the environment in India is not good for Sikhs. The notes were dubbed as “provocative and dividing” and were protests against it.
Varanasi Nageshwar residents tried to register companies against Mr. Gandhi over this statement at the Sarnath police station in Varanasi, but when he failed, he submitted an application against the Congress leader.
