]]>Special Judge Vishal Gogne issued notices while hearing a revision petition that disputes the magistrate’s September 11 ruling.
The earlier order had rejected the complaint, stating that the allegations appeared crafted to confer legal authority on the court despite lacking merit, substance, or jurisdictional validity.
The judge has scheduled the case for further hearing on January 6.
The revision plea was submitted by advocate Vikas Tripathi, who serves as vice president of the Central Delhi Court Bar Association at Rouse Avenue courts.
Representing Tripathi, senior advocate Pavan Narang told the magisterial court that Sonia Gandhi’s name was allegedly added to the New Delhi constituency voter list in January 1980, a period during which she had not yet become an Indian citizen.
The petitioner further alleged that the entry involved falsification of records and resulted in deception of a public authority.
However, the magistrate dismissed the original plea seeking an investigation, concluding that the complainant was attempting to trigger criminal proceedings by urging the court to assume a jurisdiction it did not legally possess.

Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma observed that Wani was unable to present any official decision from the trial court showing that his request for a meeting had been denied.
The court stated that the accused is not an exceptional case and that all applicants are required to follow the established legal process.
This observation came after Wani’s lawyer argued that the trial court had turned down the request verbally.
Wani was arrested by the NIA on November 17 as an alleged active collaborator of suicide bomber Umar Un Nabi in the November 10 Red Fort car explosion which resulted in the loss of fifteen lives.
He was placed in NIA custody for ten days following an order by the trial court on November 18.

]]>This development follows the recent decision of the Karnataka High Court, allowing the trial to move forward
On November 13, the High Court declined to quash the POCSO case filed against Yediyurappa and the three co accused.
The court dismissed the petitions filed by Yediyurappa, Aruna YM, Rudresha Marulasiddaiah and Mariswamy G, who had challenged the trial court’s decision to take cognizance of offences under the POCSO Act and relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, as well as the issuance of summons.
However, the High Court clarified that Yediyurappa’s personal appearance should not be required unless necessary during the trial, adding that any request for exemption should be considered unless his presence becomes essential. The court also noted that Yediyurappa may seek discharge before the trial court.
The case originates from a complaint filed in March 2024, by the mother of a 17 year old girl, who alleged that the former chief minister assaulted her daughter at his residence in Dollars Colony in February, when she had gone there seeking assistance.
