The Delhi High Court on Wednesday did not grant any relief to Congress president Rahul Gandhi in connection with the National Herald case. Rahul had challenged Income Tax authority's order to reopen his tax assessment related to the National Herald and Young India transactions. The Income Tax department informed the High Court that the AICC gave Rs 99 crores to Associate Journal Ltd and added that Rahul willfully chose not to disclose that he held the director's post at the Young India.

To which the court said that it'll determine whether he was under an obligation to disclose these details or not. However, on the other hand, the Congress President's lawyer asserted that Rahul did not receive any income from the source, hence he is not liable for any tax. Rahul's counsel also asked the Court to restrain media from publishing the matter, however, the High Court refused to stay media reporting.
