The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a plea seeking a direction to the Central Bureau of Investigation to register a case against Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi for allegedly declaring himself a British national before company law authorities there.

A bench comprising Chief Justice H L Dattu and Justice Amitava Roy questioned the 'authenticity of the document' attached with the Public Interest Litigation and the manner in which the papers were procured.

"Can we start making roving inquiries?" the bench asked while turning the petition as 'frivolous'.

Earlier, the apex court had refused urgent hearing on a plea filed by lawyer M L Sharma.

Recently, Bharatiya Janata Party leader Subramanian Swamy has alleged that the Congress vice president has claimed himself to be a British national before the authorities in connection with incorporation of a firm.
