Fodder scam: SC rejects Lalu Prasad's plea to change judge

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected RJD chief Lalu Prasad's plea for transfer of trial court judge hearing the case against him in the fodder scam.

A bench headed by Chief Justice P Sathasivam, which had on July 9 restrained the trial court from passing the judgement in fodder scam case, gave its order on Tuesday on Lalu's plea.




Lalu Prasad in his petition alleged trial court judge P K Singh is biased against him as he is a relative of P K Shahi, education minister in the government of Nitish Kumar in Bihar, "who is his (Yadav's) biggest political enemy".

Yadav approached the apex court after the Jharkhand high court had on July 1 dismissed his plea to transfer the case to another special CBI court from that of special CBI Judge P K Singh.

The apex court said that the trial judge's conduct was impeccable and that it was wrong on Lalu's part to bring bias charges at the fag end of trial.

The SC, however, granted 15 more days to Lalu Prasad and others to complete their final arguments and five days to prosecution to complete their submissions.
