In a significant legal development, the Rouse Avenue Court has granted Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi an exemption from personal appearance in the ongoing Land for Job scam case, citing their age and health concerns. The court has allowed them to appear via video conferencing unless specifically ordered otherwise. Lalu Prasad Yadav firmly stated, "We will fight the case," rejecting the allegations against him and his family, which stem from accusations that during his tenure as Railway Minister from 2004 to 2009, candidates for Group-D jobs transferred small plots of land to the Yadav family in exchange for employment opportunities. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed a charge sheet detailing these allegations, which has been a point of contention for the Yadav family, who have consistently denied any wrongdoing. As reported by News9, the court's decision reflects a consideration of the defendants' health, as well as the ongoing legal complexities surrounding the case.
