[jaunty]

Case is out of US Jurisdiction. No point.

That's true but apparently @Guynextdoor2 thinks differently.

On a complaint by a Sikh group, a US federal court has issued summons against Congress party president Sonia Gandhi for shielding party officials allegedly involved in inciting attacks on Sikhs in November 1984, an attorney said.

In a class action suit filed Tuesday before the district court of Eastern District of New York, "Sikhs For Justice" (SFJ), a US-based human rights group, and other victims of the November 1984 anti-Sikh violence have sought compensatory and punitive damages against Gandhi.

According to SFJ attorney Gurpatwant S. Pannun, under federal rules, it has 120 days to serve the summons and complaint on Gandhi who is currently visiting the US for medical check-up.

The suit under Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA) and Torture Victim Protection Act (TVPA) accuses Gandhi of shielding and protecting Kamal Nath, Sajjan Kumar, Jagdish Tytler and other Congress party leaders from being prosecuted for their alleged role in the 1984 violence.

The 27-page complaint against Gandhi alleges that between Nov 1 and 4, 1984 about 30,000 members of the Sikh community "were intentionally tortured, raped and murdered by groups that were incited, organized, controlled and armed" by the ruling Congress party.

Of course it is binding ....if she is served a summon and tries to fly out of US, she becomes a fugitive in the eyes of the law. US can even ask India to extradite her As long as she is on US soil she he subject to US law.

Which is why she is in hiding and busy trying to avoid the summon. It it was non binding then she would have met it head on. But it appears that she cannot go to US anymore for her cancer treatment.

US court follow the US constitution and not the US foreign office
