On June 12, 1975, a single court verdict shook the very foundations of Indian democracy. The Allahabad High Court declared Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s 1971 election victory from Rae Bareli null and void, citing two major violations of electoral law. This historic judgment not only unseated the most powerful woman in Indian politics but also ignited a political storm that led to one of the darkest chapters in India’s democratic journey — the Emergency. In this in-depth episode of Stories Untold, Neeraj Jha and Hemant take you through the turbulent events that followed. From Raj Narain’s bold legal challenge to Indira Gandhi’s disqualification, to the court’s detailed findings on misuse of government machinery and appointment of a still-serving officer as her election agent — every thread of this legal-political drama is examined with depth and clarity.
