Allahabad : The Allahabad High Court has dealt a major blow to Rahul Gandhi, dismissing his petition challenging a Varanasi special court order. The dismissal of the Congress leader’s plea will now pave the way for the revision petition to proceed in the Varanasi MP/MLA court.
The Varanasi MP/MLA Court had admitted a revision petition against Rahul Gandhi. This order was challenged in the High Court. The case stems from remarks Rahul Gandhi made during his three-day US tour, where he allegedly stated that Sikhs in India are not allowed to wear turbans or the kara (steel bracelet) and are not permitted to enter gurdwaras. The fight (in India) is about whether a Sikh is going to be allowed to wear a turban…whether a Sikh will be allowed to wear a kara or go to the gurdwara.
The petition filed against him on November 28, 2024, was earlier dismissed by the MP/MLA Court after a hearing. Following this, Nageshwar Mishra filed a revision petition in the Varanasi Sessions Court, which was admitted by the Special Judge (MP/MLA Court) on July 21, 2025.
