\/><\/a>Congress President Sonia Gandhi and Vice President Rahul Gandhi today opposed as \u201cvague and devoid of material particulars\u201d BJP MP Subramanian Swamy\u2019s plea seeking summoning of witnesses in the National Herald case.<br \/>\nThe Gandhis, who are accused in the case along with some other Congress leaders, contended that Swamy\u2019s plea was \u201cin the nature of a fishing and roving enquiry which is not permissible in law\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The submissions were made in the reply filed to Swamy\u2019s list of witnesses and other evidence given to Metropolitan Magistrate Lovleen in the case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe application preferred by the complainant (Swamy) is vague and devoid of material particulars and is in the nature of a fishing and roving enquiry which is not permissible in law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSwamy has proceeded to enlist the witnesses and enumerate a number of documents without divulging the dates or relevant period for most of the documents sought to be summoned through the said witnesses,\u201d the written reply filed by the accused said.<\/p>\n<p>The court, thereafter, listed the matter for further hearing on April 22 after Swamy sought time to go through the submissions made before arguments on the matter could begin.<\/p>\n<p>The accused claimed, \u201cSwamy, through this application, is seeking to summon witnesses and call for documents without divulging their necessity and desirability on the basis of the allegations made by him in the complaint.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe persistent attempt on the part of the complainant to have access the documents is clearly an attempt to make out a new case which is impermissible in law,\u201d they said.<br \/>\nSwamy, in his private criminal complaint, has accused the Gandhis and others of conspiring to cheat and misappropriate funds by paying just Rs 50 lakh through which Young Indian Pvt Ltd (YI) obtained the right to recover Rs 90.25 crore which Associate Journals Limited (AJL) owed to the Congress.<\/p>\n<p>The Gandhis and other accused \u2014 Motilal Vora, Oscar Fernandes, Suman Dubey and Sam Pitroda \u2014 have denied the allegations levelled against them.<\/p>\n<p>The court had summoned the accused persons, besides YI on June 26, 2014.<br \/>\nOn December 19, 2015, it had granted bail to Sonia, Rahul, Vora, Fernandes and Dubey, who had appeared before it pursuant to summons. Pitroda was granted bail on February 20, 2016 when he had appeared in the court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congress President Sonia Gandhi and Vice President Rahul Gandhi today opposed as \u201cvague and devoid of material particulars\u201d BJP MP Subramanian Swamy\u2019s plea seeking summoning of witnesses in the National Herald case.
