The Jharkhand High Court on Friday deferred by a week the hearing in bail petition of jailed RJD president Lalu Prasad in a fodder scam case. The bail prayer in the Dumka treasury casewas postponed for April 16 by Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh after the CBI sought time to file its reply on the matter. Prasad's lawyer Kapil Sibal appearing through video- conferencing argued that the central probe agency was deliberately delaying the matter as it wanted to keep his client in the jail "due to political reasons." Accepting CBI counsel plea for more time, the court directed it to submit its counter-affidavit on the matter in the next three days and put the matter for hearing on April 16.More Related News
