The CBI told the apex court on Friday that Lalu Yadav was playing badminton after getting bail in the fodder scam. Additional Solicitor General SV Raju, representing CBI, told the apex court that Yadav was recently seen playing badminton.
Sibal told a bench headed by Justice AS Bopanna that Yadav has served 42 months in jail, where he suffered a kidney ailment, and now they want to put him back.
To this, ASG Raju replied, “He is playing badminton. Bail has been granted on an erroneous assumption, considering that sentences are concurrent and not consecutive. I will demonstrate the High Court order (granting bail) is bad in toto.”
The CBI had filed a petition in the top court and challenged the Jharkhand High Court’s order granting bail to 74-year-old Yadav in the case.
The former Bihar Chief Minister is currently out on bail due to ill health after his conviction in various fodder scam cases.
Yadav has been convicted in five fodder scam cases pertaining to the fraudulent withdrawal of money from Doranda, Deoghar, Dumka, and Chaibasa treasuries in Jharkhand.
