NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Tuesday issued notice to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on a plea filed by RJD leader and former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister, Tejashwi 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 CBI and issued notice on Tejashwi Yadav’s criminal revision petition as well as on the application seeking a stay of the trial court’s proceedings.
Senior advocates Kapil Sibal and Maninder Singh, appearing for Tejashwi Yadav, informed the Delhi High Court that a similar plea filed by his father, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, has already been listed for hearing on January 14.
