A Delhi court on Monday resumed its examination of documents in the high-profile National Herald case. The allegations center around Congress leaders Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, accused of money laundering and illicit property acquisition.

Special Judge Vishal Gogne has ordered the investigating officer to present all relevant case files in court. These include the Enforcement Directorate's copy of the ECIR and a complaint by Subramanian Swamy, which spurred the ongoing investigation.
