There is no illegality in extending support to a Section 25 company (charitable firm YI) by the INC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The trial court on June 26 had summoned Sonia, Rahul, Vora, party general secretary Oscar Fernandes, Suman Dubey and Sam Pitroda to appear before it on August 7.<\/p>\n<p>Referring to trial court&#8217;s order in the case, Sibal had said that the basic ingredients of the offences have not been met.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There may be allegations in the complaint but there was no evidence to support them,&#8221; he had argued.<\/p>\n<p>Dealing with the offence of dishonest misappropriation of property, he had maintained that the basic ingredients of the offence are that the property should belong to a person other than the accused and &#8220;the accused should wrongly appropriate or convert such property to his own use&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, referring to the offence of criminal breach of trust, the lawyer had said that a person should have been entrusted with property, or entrusted with dominion of property and &#8220;the person should dishonestly misappropriate or convert to his own use that property or dishonestly use or dispose of that property or wilfully suffer any other person to do so.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sadly, this is also not backed by documentary evidence,&#8221; he told the court, adding that the basic elements of breach of trust and cheating are missing.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Sonia in her plea, had also sought setting aside of the compliant saying it was &#8220;politically motivated and intended to wreak vengeance and unleash political vendetta&#8221; against her.<\/p>\n<p>(Source: PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a relief to Congress president and vice president Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, the Delhi High Court stayed their summons in the National Herald case till August 13.
