Allahabad High Court Orders Centre to Decide Rahul Gandhi's Citizenship in Four Weeks

The court rejected the Centre's request for an eight-week extension, setting April 21, 2025, as the deadline for its status report.

The Allahabad High Court has directed the Centre to determine Rahul Gandhi's citizenship status by April 21, 2025.
The Centre's request for an eight-week extension was denied, and the next hearing is scheduled for April 21.
The petition, filed by BJP worker Vignesh Shishir, claims to have confidential UK government emails suggesting Gandhi holds British nationality.
A similar case is being heard in the Delhi High Court, based on allegations by Subramanian Swamy regarding Gandhi's nationality in UK company records.
Rahul Gandhi and the Congress Party have consistently denied the allegations, emphasizing his Indian citizenship.
