Supreme Court sought responses from Centre, Telangana, CBI, ED and SFIO on a plea seeking independent probe into alleged multi-crore corporate fraud involving collusion with authorities and a figure. The bench issued notices to Union ministries after hearing submissions.
The CBI told the Delhi High Court that Lalu Prasad Yadav had no official role or public duty in railway appointments during his tenure as Union Railway Minister. The agency argued that decisions were taken by General Managers, making prior sanction under the Prevention of Corruption Act unnecessary.
