Allahabad HC rejects plea challenging Rahul Gandhi’s citizenship:Petitioner fails to produce evidence proving LoP as a citizen of UK

The Allahabad High Court has refused to entertain a petition challenging Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi’s eligibility to remain an MP on the grounds that he is allegedly not an Indian citizen. The case was dismissed after the petitioner failed to produce even a single document to prove his allegation that Gandhi was a citizen of the United Kingdom. The order was passed on August 31 by a bench of Justice Shekhar B Saraf and Justice Abdhesh Kumar Chaudhary. According to a report by BarandBench, after considering the Court’s observations, the petitioner chose to withdraw the plea. The request was granted by the Court. The court said, “ In light of the submission made above, the petitioner is permitted to withdraw the present writ petition. The present writ petition as such, is dismissed as withdrawn.” What is the entire issue? The entire case was based on the petitioners alligations that, that Gandhi had, in 2003, incorporated a UK-based company, M/s Backops Limited, and declared himself to be a director and major shareholder, and also a British national.
The court also commented that the, ” though the petitioner’s arguments appeared to be very attractive with far-reaching consequences, he could not show a single document on record relating to the formation of the company or the records of the Registrar of Companies of Britain or any declaration to show that Rahul Gandhi @ Raul Vinci had declared himself to be a British citizen.” What was actually presented in the case? According to the same report, only one document was produced by the petitioner. The document was an alleged letter of confirmation issued by the University of Cambridge certifying the study of one Raul Vinci. The court here mentioned that this does not in any manner prove any of the allegations being contested in the present petition, ​
