Opposing the contentions, Swamy told the court that the documents, which were placed before the magistrate today, were related to Associated Journal Ltd (AJL) and they were required for the case. During the hearing, in which media was not allowed, Swamy argued that although the high court has issued a notice on Vora\u2019s plea it had not stayed the order summoning documents from these ministries.<\/p>\n<p>The magistrate, after hearing the submissions, reserved his order on the plea moved by the accused persons for 4 pm today. The court granted bail to co-accused Sam Pitroda, who appeared before it today, on a personal bond of Rs 50,000 and a surety of the like amount. The Gandhis and other three accused \u2014 Motilal Vora, Oscar Fernandes and Suman Dubey \u2014 were today granted exemption from personal appearance by the court as per the Supreme Court\u2019s February 12 order. The magistrate has now fixed the matter for March 21 considering that the petition filed before the high court is likely to be heard on March 15.<\/p>\n<p>The court had on January 11 allowed Swamy\u2019s plea seeking summoning of documents from the Ministries of Finance, Urban Development and Corporate Affairs, Income Tax Department and other agencies in the case. The court had on December 19, 2015, granted bail to Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Motilal Vora, Oscar Fernandes and Suman Dubey, who had appeared before pursuant to the summons issued earlier.<\/p>\n<p>The case is based on a private criminal complaint lodged by Swamy against them of cheating, conspiracy and criminal\u00a0breach of trust. The Supreme Court had last week granted exemption to Sonia Gandhi from personal appearance in the trial court and also expunged some observations of the high court but refused to interfere with criminal proceedings before the lower court.<\/p>\n<p>The apex court, while allowing the plea of Gandhis, had also said it would be open to the magistrate at any stage to seek their personal appearance, as and when required. Sonia, Rahul, Vora (AICC Treasurer), Fernandes (AICC General Secretary), Dubey and Pitroda were summoned under\u00a0sections 403 (dishonest misappropriation of property), 406 (criminal breach of trust) and 420 (cheating) read with section 120B (criminal conspiracy) of the IPC.<\/p>\n<p>The trial court had on June 26, 2014 asked them to appear before it on August 7, 2014 but the order was stayed on August 6, 2014 by the Delhi High Court which on December 7, last year vacated the stay by rejecting the plea to quash the complaint and the summons. On December 15, 2014, the high court had further stayed the summons till final disposal of the petitions. Along with the Gandhis, five other accused \u2014 Suman Dubey, Moti Lal Vora, Oscar Fernandez, Sam Pitroda and Young India Ltd \u2014 had challenged the summons issued to them by trial court on Swamy\u2019s complaint.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congress President Sonia Gandhi, her son Rahul Gandhi and other accused in the National Herald case today told a Delhi court that BJP leader Subramanian Swamy should first satisfy it about the relevance of documents which were ordered to be summoned from various ministries in the matter.
