On this episode of NewsTrack, Maria Shakeel discusses the major relief granted to Sonia and Rahul Gandhi in the National Herald case. A Delhi court refused to take cognizance of the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) charge sheet, ruling that the money laundering probe is not maintainable without a predicate FIR.
