A Delhi Court has overturned a Magistrate’s order that refused to investigate allegations surrounding Congress leader Sonia Gandhi’s electoral roll entry prior to acquiring Indian citizenship in 1983.

Special Judge Vishal Gogne allowed a revision plea against the September 11, 2025 ruling, describing the earlier order as “non‑speaking.” He noted that the Magistrate had digressed into the issue of citizenship instead of examining whether the complaint disclosed a cognisable offence.

The complaint was filed by Advocate Vikas Tripathi, vice‑president of the Central Delhi Court Bar Association at Rouse Avenue courts. Tripathi alleged that Gandhi’s name was included in the electoral roll three years before she became an Indian citizen, raising questions of legality.

By setting aside the Magistrate’s refusal, the Delhi Court has effectively reopened the matter, directing that the core allegations be properly examined. The ruling underscores the judiciary’s emphasis on ensuring that complaints disclosing potential offences are not dismissed without due consideration.

The case is expected to draw significant political attention, given Sonia Gandhi’s long‑standing role in Indian politics and the sensitivity surrounding electoral integrity.
