What’s inside:
This article discusses the latest updates on the ‘Land for Job’ case involving Lalu Prasad Yadav and others, including the court’s decision to postpone the hearing.
In a recent court hearing in Delhi about the ‘Land for Job’ scam, RJD leader Lalu Prasad Yadav and his family received a temporary break. The hearing took place at Rouse Avenue court, where the judge decided to give them five more days before making any decisions on the charges against them.
The Special CBI Judge Vishal Gogane was informed that there are a total of 103 accused in this case, but four of them have passed away. The CBI mentioned that they still have not finished processing the documents for all the accused, which is why they needed more time. The court agreed to postpone the hearing after considering the CBI’s request.
Previously, on December 8, the CBI had also asked for extra time to check the status and documents related to the accused. The judge had instructed the CBI to provide updated reports so that they could determine if there was enough evidence to proceed with the charges.
The CBI has filed a detailed charge sheet against several individuals, including Lalu Prasad and his family. They are accused of making illegal appointments in the Indian Railways between 2004 and 2009, during Lalu Prasad’s term as Railway Minister, in exchange for land transfers to Lalu’s family.
This ongoing case has faced several delays, and with the recent extension, the Lalu family has a bit of relief for now. The next court date is set for November 15, and many are eager to see if the case will move forward or face further hold-ups.
