The Indian National Congress has, on Friday, submitted its balance sheet for the year 2010-2011. In compliance with a Delhi court order in the National Herald case, the Congress submitted its balance sheet in a sealed cover. Congress President Sonia Gandhi, her son Rahul Gandhi, and five others stand accused.
Associated Journals Pvt (AJL) has also submitted in a sealed cover its balance sheet for the same assessment year before the Metropolitan Magistrate Lovleen.
Both Congress and AJL requested that “the documents may not be opened or brought on record without hearing the counsel for applicant.”
They said the summoned documents were already on the court’s record and “the prayer (by complainant Subramanian Swamy) for summoning the documents was made either by sheer oversight or just to publicise the issue.”
“Nonetheless, the applicants (Congress and AJL) in deference to the direction of this court is producing the document in a sealed cover,” they said in their separate pleas.
On March 11, the court summoned Congress and AJL documents for the year 2010-2011, observing that these could not be referred as “personal documents” of the accused.
Swamy had accused Sonia, Rahul and others of allegedly conspiring to cheat and misappropriate funds by just paying Rs 50 lakh by which Young Indian Pvt Ltd (YI) obtained the right to recover Rs 90.25 crore which AJL owed to Congress party.
