Kollam A court in Kerala has directed Congress president Sonia Gandhi to appear in person or through a lawyer before it on August 3 in a plea filed by a party member challenging his suspension from the national party.
The Munsiff Court in Kollam district on July 20 issued the urgent notice for appearance to the Congress chief, Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president K Sudhakaran and District Congress Committee chief P Rajendra Prasad, according a lawyer associated with the case.
The direction came on an application filed in a suit by Congress member Pridhwyraj P, who was suspended from the party in 2019, seeking directions to quash the suspension order on the ground that it was in violation of the party’s rules and by-laws.
