Judgement in fodder scam involving Lalu prasad deferred again

Ranchi, March 17: The judgment in a fodder scam case involving former Bihar Chief Minister and RJD chief Lalu Prasad was again deferred on Saturday and is now likely to be delivered on Monday.

The special CBI court of Shivpal Singh was scheduled to pronounce the verdict on Thursday (March 15) but then shifted it for Saturday before again postponing it to Monday as 42 judges from across the state are participating in a two-day training programme being conducted at the judicial academy here.

According a lawyer, the court has fixed March 19 for delivering the verdict.

The hearing in the fodder case, relating to fraudulent withdrawals of Rs 3.13 crore from the Dumka treasury between December 1995 and January 1996, was completed on March 5.
