Delhi High Court Allows Subramanian Swamy's Request To List plea On Rahul Gandhi's Citizenship As 'Public Interest Litigation'

The bench headed by Justice Sanjeev Narula in the case stated that there is no violation of any 'legally enforceable right' to invoke its writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.

The bench orally remarked that, 'You could come in PIL jurisdiction at the highest.' In August 2019, the Swamy had written a letter to the Centre on alleged violations made by the Congress leader in 'voluntarily disclosing' to the British Government that he being a citizen of British nationality, amounting to holding a British passport.

The Article 9 of the Constitution of India states that no person shall be a citizen of India or be deemed to be a citizen of India if he has voluntarily acquired the citizenship of any foreign State.
