The petition alleged that Gandhi’s name appeared on the voter rolls prior to her acquiring Indian citizenship, raising concerns about the validity of her registration. However, the court rejected the plea, effectively ending the legal challenge.

Implications and Reactions

The court’s decision puts to rest the questions surrounding Gandhi’s voter registration timeline. This ruling is likely to be seen as a significant development by the Indian National Congress and its supporters. Further details regarding the court’s reasoning are awaited.
