Press Trust Of India
A CBI court in Ranchi will pronounce its judgement on Monday in the multi-crore fodder scam, in which RJD chief Lalu Prasad, if convicted, will face immediate disqualification as a Lok Sabha member.

Prasad and 44 others have been charged with fraudulent withdrawal to the tune of Rs 37.7 crore on fake fodder bills from the Chaibasa treasury in the 1990s in a case lodged by CBI. Chaibasa was then part of undivided Bihar. Accompanied by son Tejaswi Pratap and a host of party colleagues, 65-year-old Prasad on Sunday reached Ranchi to be present in the court when special CBI judge Pravas Kumar Singh delivers the verdict.
 

Besides the RJD supremo, other accused persons include former Bihar Chief Minister Jagannath Mishra and JD(U) MP Jagdish Sharma.
