The Delhi High Court treated a plea by Subramanian Swamy, questioning the citizenship of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, as a Public Interest Litigation (PIL). The plea alleges that Gandhi holds dual citizenship, which disqualifies him from holding public office. The Court’s decision to treat the matter as a PIL allows for broader examination and public scrutiny of the allegations. This move underscores the importance of transparency and accountability in public life, while also ensuring that such serious claims are properly investigated.
