CBI court awards jail terms to 52, acquits 35 in fodder scam case

A Special CBI court here on Monday sentenced 52 people to imprisonment of various terms, with the maximum being three years, in a case of the fodder scam. Thirty-five others were acquitted in the case by Special CBI judge Vishal Srivastav. The case is related to the fraudulent withdrawal of Rs 36.59 crore from Doranda treasury of unified Bihar. The amount was withdrawn between 1990 and 1995. Lawyer Sanjay Kumar who represented several of the accused said the quantum of sentencing will be announced on September 1. The scam in which crores of rupees were fraudulently withdrawn from treasuries such as Doranda, Deoghar, Dumka and Chaibasa was exposed in the 1990s when Jharkhand was part of Bihar. RJD president and former Bihar chief minister Lalu Prasad is one of the high-profile politicians who was convicted in the case. He is currently out on bail on the ground of ill health.

Lalu Yadav playing badminton after getting bail in fodder scam: CBI to SC

The CBI on Friday told the Supreme Court that RJD supremo Lalu Prasad was playing badminton after being enlarged on bail in a fodder scam case on medical grounds, as it sought cancellation of the relief granted to the former Bihar chief minister. Prasad's counsel opposed any move to cancel septuagenarian leader's bail, saying he has undergone a kidney transplant recently. The CBI has approached the seeking cancellation of Prasad's bail in the Doranda treasury case in which he has been sentenced to five years in prison. Additional Solicitor General S V Raju, appearing for the CBI, submitted that the Jharkhand High court order granting bail to the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader was "bad in law" and "erroneous". Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, representing Prasad, opposed the CBI's application on account of the former union minister having gone a kidney transplant surgery. Sibal told the bench that Prasad has already served 42 months behind bars in the case. "He is playing badminton

Fodder scam: SC rejects CBI's plea against bail of RJD supremo Lalu Yadav

The Supreme Court on Monday tagged with pending matter a plea of the CBI challenging grant of bail to Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav in the Doranda Treasury case of Jharkhand wherein he was sentenced to five years in prison. A bench of Justices Ajay Rastogi and Bela M Trivedi said it is not issuing notice but tagging the matter with the pending similar appeal also filed by the CBI.
