Ranchi, Apr 12 The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has opposed the bail plea of RJD chief and former Bihar chief minister Lalu Prasad Yadav in the Dumka treasury case. The Jharkhand High Court on Friday postponed the bail plea hearing of former Bihar Chief Minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Prasad by a week. The bail plea was moved in relation to the fodder scam case. The high court postponed the bail plea to April 16 after the CBI sought time to file its reply on the matter. The CBI said in a counter- affidavit in the Jharkhand High Court that Lalu Prasad Yadav has not served half of the sentence awarded to him in connection with the unlawful withdrawal of Rs 3.13 crore from the Dumka treasury during the 1990s in Bihar. The RJD chief was sentenced to seven years in prison under two different sections.
