New Delhi: Rahul Gandhi, a leader of the Congress and the accused in the National Herald case applied to a Delhi court on Tuesday for a no-objection certificate to obtain a new "ordinary passport" after surrendering his diplomatic travel document after being removed from office as an MP.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Vaibhav Mehta sought the response of BJP leader Subramanian Swamy, the complainant in the National Herald case, to Gandhi's application and posted the matter for hearing on Wednesday.
“The applicant ceased to be a Member of Parliament in March 2023 and as such he surrendered his diplomatic passport and is applying for a fresh ordinary passport… By way of the present application, the applicant is seeking permission and no objection from this Court for issuance of fresh ordinary passport to him,” the application said.
The court had on December 19, 2015, granted bail to Gandhi and others in the case.
