A Lucknow bench of Allahabad High Court closed the case related to the purported British citizenship of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
The division bench of Justice AR Masudi and Justice Ajay Kumar Srivastava took the decision on Monday as the Central government could not produce relevant documents related to his British citizenship.
The bench stated that the petition cannot be kept pending waiting for the report. Whenever the report is received by the Central government, they should give a copy of it to the petitioner and also present it in the court, the court ordered.
