Ranchi, July 12
The Jharkhand High Court today granted bail to RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav in a fodder scam case, but the former Bihar Chief Minister will remain in jail as he is also serving sentence in two other related cases.
Justice Apresh Kumar Singh granted bail to him in the case relating to fraudulent withdrawal of Rs89.27 lakh from the Deoghar treasury on the ground that he has served half of his prison term of three-and-a-half years.
Yadav was convicted in four fodder scam cases pertaining to fraudulent withdrawal of money from Deoghar, Dumka and Chaibasa treasuries in Jharkhand. He was convicted in two cases for fraudulent withdrawals from the Chaibasa treasury.
Besides the Deoghar treasury case, he has secured bail in one of the Chaibasa cases. — PTI
