# Rahul Gandhi moves Supreme Court against High Court order in assets case 2026-08-13T08:55:34+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Congress leader and Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi has moved the Supreme Court challenging Allahabad High Court orders that directed the CBI and ED to verify allegations of disproportionate assets against him. The matter is listed for hearing before a bench led by Chief Justice Surya Kant on August 17. Gandhi has also filed a transfer petition seeking to shift the proceedings from the Allahabad High Court to the Delhi High Court. The Allahabad High Court, on July 20, expressed dissatisfaction with the CBI's earlier affidavit and directed a senior officer to personally file a fresh status report. The court noted the ED had initiated steps. The case originated from a petition by Karnataka-based BJP worker S Vignesh Shishir, who earlier alleged Gandhi holds dual citizenship. The High Court had been hearing the matter in-chamber, citing its sensitive nature. ## Coverage - newindianexpress.com - timesnownews.com Tags: Allahabad High Court, CBI, disproportionate assets, ED, Rahul Gandhi, Supreme Court Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/rahul-gandhi-moves-supreme-court-against-assets-probe-order/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
