flag India's Supreme Court will hear final arguments on April 22, 2026, over the legality of suspending sentences for former Bihar CM Lalu Prasad Yadav in the ₹950 crore fodder scam.

flag The Supreme Court of India has scheduled April 22, 2026, for its final hearing on appeals by the CBI challenging the suspension of sentences for former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav and others in the fodder scam cases. flag The scam involves alleged fraudulent withdrawals of nearly ₹950 crore from state treasuries between 1992 and 1995 during Yadav’s tenure in undivided Bihar. flag The CBI argues the Jharkhand High Court violated legal principles by suspending sentences post-conviction without a change in circumstances, calling the release illegal. flag The Supreme Court bench, comprising Justices M.M. flag Sundresh and N. Kotiswar Singh, noted the advanced ages of the accused, some in their 60s, 70s, and late 80s, and indicated it would close cases involving deceased individuals. flag The outcome will determine the legality of post-conviction sentence suspensions in high-profile corruption cases.
