RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav has approached the Delhi High Court challenging the trial court’s decision to frame criminal charges in the alleged Railways land-for-jobs scam. The High Court has issued notice to the CBI and will hear the matter next on March 17.
The Delhi High Court has reserved its verdict on Lalu Prasad Yadav’s petition seeking to quash the Central Bureau of Investigation case in the alleged land-for-jobs scam. The court heard arguments on the need for prior sanction under anti-corruption law and objections raised by the CBI on maintainability and delay.
A sharp verbal clash erupted between senior advocate Kapil Sibal and ASG SV Raju in the Delhi High Court during the hearing on Lalu Prasad Yadav’s plea to quash the land-for-jobs case. The court later stepped in to cool tempers and directed both sides to file brief written submissions.
Supreme Court declines to intervene in Lalu Prasad Yadav’s plea on land-for-jobs scam. ASG SV Raju urges costs, says, “Big pockets file multiple applications.”
Delhi High Court has reserved its decision on delaying trial proceedings against Lalu Prasad Yadav and family in the CBI’s land-for-jobs case. The plea claims the FIR lacks sanction and is politically motivated.
