Former Indian Railways Minister Lalu Prasad challenges corruption case, claiming legal misconduct.

Former Indian Railways Minister Lalu Prasad is challenging a corruption case filed by the CBI in the Delhi High Court, claiming the case is illegal due to lack of required sanction. The "land-for-jobs" scandal alleges Prasad made railway appointments in exchange for land parcels during his tenure from 2004 to 2009. The CBI disputes this, stating the necessary legal approvals have been obtained. The case is set for further hearings.
