New Delhi:
In a major setback to the RJD, a special CBI court on Saturday convicted former Bihar chief minister Lalu Prasad and 15 others in a fodder scam case 21 years after it had surfaced, while acquitting six others including another ex-CM Jagannath Mishra.
Ranchi: The Jharkhand high court on Friday rejected the petition for suspension of sentence of RJD chief Lalu Prasad on the ground that he is yet to complete two more months of his jail term to complete half the tenure of his total sentence in the animal husbandry case pertaining to the Dumka treasury.
Although Lalu’s counsel and former Union minister Kapil Sibal argued before the court of Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh through video conferencing that his client has completed 42 months in custody, which is half of the maximum sentence in the case, making him eligible to file a petition, CBI counsel Rajiv Sinha said the period of custody has not been properly computed.
