The Delhi High Court has scheduled a hearing for the appeals of four individuals convicted in the 1975 assassination of former Railway Minister L N Mishra. This comes nearly 50 years after the incident, with the court setting a strict deadline for the proceeding and instructing both parties to submit their synopses and judgments.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has been granted a two-week extension by the court to file the conclusive charge sheet in the “Land-for-Jobs” case, which involves allegations of exchanging land parcels for job appointments within the railways during 2004-2009. The case implicates prominent figures and highlights concerns over corruption and nepotism in public service appointments.
