Delhi Court To Decide Framing Of Charges Against Lalu Yadav.
New Delhi: RJD Supremo and former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav, along with his son and former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav, appeared at the Rouse Avenue Court in New Delhi on Monday. The court is set to pronounce its order on the framing of charges in the high-profile IRCTC hotel corruption case and the land-for-job corruption case.
The court’s hearing is focused on the framing of charges against the accused in the IRCTC hotel corruption case, which has drawn considerable attention from political circles and the media. Lalu Prasad Yadav, who also served as the former Railway Minister, will appear in person along with his wife and former Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi, son Tejashwi Yadav, and other family members.
The IRCTC hotel corruption case pertains to alleged irregularities in the allocation and management of hotels under the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC). The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which is investigating the matter, had filed charges against Lalu Prasad Yadav and others, accusing them of involvement in financial irregularities and misuse of official powers.
Similarly, the land-for-job corruption case involves allegations of misappropriation and illegal benefits connected with the allocation of land in Bihar. Both cases have been under investigation for several years and have seen multiple hearings in the court.

The proceedings have drawn significant public and political attention, given the stature of the accused and their influence in Bihar politics. Tejashwi Yadav, who is the current leader of the opposition in Bihar, accompanied his father and mother to the court, underscoring the family’s direct involvement in following the legal process.
Legal experts say the court’s order on framing of charges could determine whether the cases proceed to trial or if any modifications are made to the list of accused. The outcome is expected to have implications for ongoing political dynamics in Bihar, particularly as elections approach.
