Lucknow, 14 May (HS): The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High

Court dismissed a new suit regarding Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s citizenship

on Wednesday, after the petitioner tried to withdraw it. However, the court

allowed the petitioner the right to submit a review petition against the

previously disposed of subject. S Vignesh Shishir of Karnataka filed the new

plea, claiming to have new evidence in the case. He also asked the court to bar

Gandhi from traveling to other countries until his appeal was resolved. The

bench remarked that because a similar plea had previously been decided on May

5, the petitioner might file a review petition against the ruling. As a result,

the court rejected the new plea as withdrawn.

On May 5, the court dismissed Shishir’s original petition,

allowing him to pursue additional legal options. Any representation made by the

petitioner to the Central government on the subject might be investigated by a

competent body, the judgment stated.
