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.
A Delhi court is set to pronounce its order on framing of charges in the alleged land-for-jobs case involving former railway minister Lalu Prasad Yadav and his family. The decision will determine whether the CBI case accusing them of illegal railway appointments in exchange for land will proceed to trial.
The CBI informed the court about a fraudulent scheme involving a non-existent school used to produce fake certificates in exchange for land sold to Lalu Yadav and his family. Unqualified candidates were hired for railway jobs inappropriately. The investigation revealed significant irregularities and pressure in the hiring process, emphasizing the urgency and lack of verification.
