Delhi Court Declines ED Chargesheet in National Herald Case; Gandhis Relieved

• Delhi court refused to take cognisance of the ED's chargesheet against Sonia and Rahul Gandhi in the National Herald money laundering case.
• The court stated the ED's case was based on a private complaint, not an FIR, and an EOW FIR already exists.
• The court allowed the ED to continue its investigation but deemed it premature to take cognisance at this stage.
• The ED plans to appeal the court's decision.
• Delhi Police previously filed an FIR against the Gandhis and others for criminal conspiracy, misappropriation, and cheating related to the case.

Why It Matters: Court's refusal to accept ED chargesheet provides significant relief to Gandhis.
