A Delhi court on Thursday dismissed a plea seeking a first information report against Congress leader Sonia Gandhi, alleging that she used forged documents to get her name included in the voter rolls of 1980, three years before she obtained Indian citizenship, Live Law reported

Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Vaibhav Chaurasiya of Rouse Avenue Courts pronounced the order.

The plea was filed by Rouse Avenue Court Bar Association Vice President Vikas Tripathi.

His counsel, Advocate Pawan Narang, had claimed that Gandhi’s name was added as a voter of the New Delhi constituency in January 1980, when she was not an Indian citizen. The name was deleted from the electoral rolls in 1982 after the Election Commission found irregularities, Live Law reported.

He alleged that the deletion was due to “false documents”.

Her name was re-entered in 1983, the year she obtained citizenship, Tripathi said in his complaint, according to Live Law.

No one appeared on behalf of Gandhi.
