Orders

Summary The Delhi High Court dismissed Lalu Prasad Yadav's petition challenging his prosecution for alleged irregular railway substitute appointments (2004-2009) involving land transfers to his family. The court held that Section 17A of the Prevention of Corruption Act 2018 applies only prospectively and does not protect against investigation of pre-2018 offences, and that the petitioner—not the statutory decision-maker for appointments—cannot invoke this protection anyway. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
