As per news report of NDTV, the hearing was earlier deferred as the CBI didn't file its arguments before the Jharkhand High Court. Lalu Yadav, serving a four-year jail sentence for corruption, has been granted bail in many other cases linked to the swindle of government funds meant for cattle fodder.
