Centre on Monday informed Allahabad HC’s Lucknow bench that it has received a plea seeking “cancellation of British citizenship” of Rahul Gandhi, the leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, and sought time to act on the plea.
BJP functionary from Karnataka S Vignesh Shishir had filed a PIL seeking HC’s intervention after the Centre allegedly didn’t act on his plea under Citizenship Act 1955 to order CBI to probe how Rahul got “British citizenship” and cancel the document. The bench of Justices Rajan Roy and Om Prakash Shukla had asked the govt on Wednesday whether it had taken any decision on Shishir’s plea. Deputy solicitor general SB Pandey on Monday sought more time to place before the high court, the status of action taken on the plea. The bench listed the matter for hearing on Oct 24.
