National Herald case: Delhi Court to pronounce order on December 26

New Delhi: The Patiala House Court is likely to pronounce an order in the National Herald case on December 26, a media report said on Friday.

The court reserved its order on Friday after BJP leader Subramanian Swamy in an application sought documents and ledger books from the Congress party and the Associated Journals Limited (AJL).

Swamy alleged that Congress president Sonia Gandhi and vice president Rahul Gandhi got hold of AJL through "dishonest means".

"They have been saying that I don't have a case, how can that be when the court has issued summons for them.

“So they are buying time and delaying, but they will not escape it," ANI quoted Swamy as saying.

"The National Herald is being used by the Nehru family to collect funds and aggrandize them.

“I wanted to know whether Sonia and Rahul Gandhi got hold of Associated journals limited by honest means or dishonest means.

“My allegations is that they acquired through dishonest means which is criminal misappropriation and criminal breach of trust," he was quoted as saying.
