The Punjab and Haryana High Court has set aside criminal charges against former Haryana CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda and AJL in the Panchkula plot re-allotment case. The Court ruled that there was no material to establish criminal conspiracy or cheating, calling continuation of prosecution an abuse of process.
A Delhi court has listed the land-for-job case linked to alleged Railway appointments in exchange for land for trial and ordered day-to-day recording of prosecution evidence from March 9. The case involves former Railway Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav, his family members and other accused, with charges already framed under corruption and conspiracy laws.
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.
The Delhi High Court has directed the State government to take immediate steps to ensure that Parent-Teacher Associations are properly formed and functioning in all private schools in the capital.
The Court noted that non-constitution of PTAs deprives parents of a collective voice, especially in matters related to school fees and governance.
