The Supreme Court on Friday said it will hear from April 23 the final arguments on an appeal filed by Congress President Rahul Gandhi and his mother Sonia against the Delhi High Court order allowing re-assessment of their Income Tax for 2011-12 in connection with the National Herald case.

The Gandhis sought adjournment of the hearing which was opposed by the Income Tax Department.

A Bench of Justices DY Chandrachud and Hemant Gupta said it is listing the matter for final disposal on April 23. The I-T probe against the Congress leaders has arisen from the investigation into a private criminal complaint filed by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy.
