Delhi High Court Seeks CBI Reply In Lalu Yadav’s IRCTC Corruption Case; No Stay On Trial Yet

The Delhi High Court has issued notice to the CBI on former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav’s plea challenging the framing of charges in the IRCTC corruption case.

Yadav sought a stay on the trial proceedings, but the Court declined interim relief, noting that witnesses had already been examined.

The Bench directed the CBI to file its response and listed the matter for consideration on January 14.

The case concerns allegations of bribery through transfer of land parcels in return for IRCTC hotel maintenance contracts during Yadav’s tenure as Railway Minister.
