Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul Gandhi have moved the Supreme Court against an order that asks them to appear in court in the
National Herald case.
In December, the two top leaders of the Congress appeared at a trial court in Delhi after the Delhi High Court refused to cancel summons to them.
The next hearing in the trial court is on February 20.
In the previous hearing,
the Congress leaders were granted unconditional bail when they appeared along with top party leaders in what was seen as a show of strength.
The Congress leaders have
accused the Modi government of "political vendetta" in the National Herald case, which has been filed by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy.
Mr Swamy has accused the Gandhis and four others of attempting to illegally acquire real estate worth thousands of crores belonging to the National Herald, a newspaper founded by Jawaharlal Nehru and now defunct.
