Delhi court delays ruling on corruption charges in land-for-jobs case involving Lalu Prasad Yadav and family; decision set for Dec. 4.

A Delhi court has postponed its decision on whether to frame charges in a land-for-jobs corruption case involving former Railway Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav and others, including Rabri Devi and Tejashwi Yadav, with a ruling set for December 4. The CBI alleges railway jobs were awarded in exchange for land, but defense lawyers argue the case lacks evidence and is politically motivated, asserting all land deals were legal and hiring followed proper procedures. The prosecution maintains sufficient evidence exists to proceed. The court had reserved its order on September 11.
