File. | Photo Credit: ANI The Allahabad High Court has deferred its order directing the registration of a First Information Report (FIR) against Congress leader and the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi over allegations relating to his nationality, observing that a person suspected of an offence was entitled to be heard before a decision was taken in criminal revision proceedings. In an order uploaded on Saturday (April 18, 2026), a Bench of Justice Subhash Vidyarthi said that although the decision had earlier been dictated in open court, it was held back before being formally signed after the court came across a 2014 full Bench ruling in Jagannath Verma versus State of Uttar Pradesh.
