New Delhi, Sept. 11 -- A Delhi court on Thursday dismissed a plea that was filed before it seeking action against senior Congress leader Sonia Gandhi over an alleged forgery linked to her name being included in the electoral roll.

The petitioner alleged that Sonia Gandhi's name was included in the electoral rolls three years before she became an Indian citizen.

The plea was junked by additional chief judicial magistrate Vaibhav Chaurasia.

A detailed order regarding the matter is awaited.
