Jharkhand HC grants bail to Lalu Prasad Yadav in Dumka treasury case
The former CM had acquired bail in three other cases of fodder scam and was waiting for ruling in this one to come out of the jail
The bail was allowed to Prasad by Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh.
The court directed him neither to leave the country without permission nor change his address and mobile number during the bail period.
Prasad had acquired bail in three other cases of the fodder scam and was waiting for judgement in the instant case related to illegal withdrawal of Rs 3.13 crore from the Dumka treasury in 90s to come out of the jail.
The septuagenarian RJD supremo was airlifted to AIIMS New Delhi in January last in view of his bad health.
Earlier in February, the court had denied bail to Lalu while rejecting his counsel’s argument seeking respite on the grounds that he has served half of the total sentence.
Lalu’s lawyer Prabhat Kumar had then told reporters that they can move a fresh petition after two months. “Court is of the view that two months are left for half of the jail term of Lalu to get over. In that case, a fresh petition will have to be moved in high court for the grant of bail,” he had said.
