Special judge terms plea for unrelied documents a calculated “ruse” to derail trial proceedings
A Delhi special court has dismissed a plea filed by RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav and former Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi seeking “unrelied documents” in the land-for-jobs case, calling it a deliberate strategy to stall the trial.
Special Judge Vishal Gogne of Rouse Avenue Courts, in a pointed 35-page order, ruled that the accused had already received adequate opportunity to inspect such documents. The court warned that reviewing 1,675 unrelied documents would throw trial proceedings into “complete disarray.”
The judge identified an unmistakable pattern mirroring earlier procedural manoeuvres designed to trap the trial in endless litigation loops. The CBI case alleges that Yadav, during his 2004–2009 railway ministry tenure, exchanged Group D railway jobs for land transfers to his family. The next hearing proceeds as scheduled.
