NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Monday issued notice to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on a plea filed by former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav challenging a trial court order that directed the framing of criminal charges against him and his family members in the alleged IRCTC hotel scam case.
After briefly hearing the matter, a single-judge Bench of Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma sought the response of the Central agency and issued notice on the criminal revision petition as well as the stay application filed by Lalu Prasad Yadav.
Justice Sharma has listed the matter for further hearing on January 14.
The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief has assailed the order passed by the Rouse Avenue Court, which had found sufficient grounds to proceed against him and other accused for offences relating to corruption, criminal conspiracy and cheating in connection with the IRCTC scam.
