Sikhs For Justice has been given time till February 17 to respond to Congress's motion to dismiss, according to Sikhs For Justice legal advisor,  Gurpatwant Singh Pannun. Pannun alleged that the Congress party has attempted to mislead the U.S. Court by submitting a two year old declaration by Vora which has already been disregarded by the U.S. Court.

In its September 19 decision, the court has already ruled that Congress has been properly served under Hague Service Convention and granted permission to conduct jurisdictional discovery to unearth the connection between, Indian National Congress(INC)  and Indian National Overseas Congress (INOC), he claimed.

To challenge Congress's motion to dismiss, Sikhs For Justice will submit evidence of most recent appointment of office bearers of INOC by Congress party officials, Pannun said. In March 2011, the U.S. Court had issued summons against the Congress party in the class action law suit filed under Alien Tort Statute (ATS) and Torture Victim Protection Act.
