In a setback to RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav, the Delhi High Court on Tuesday (March 24, 2026) refused to quash the FIR registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation in the land-for-jobs case involving him and his family.
Justice Ravinder Dudeja dismissed the petition by Mr. Yadav, a former Railway Minister and ex-Chief Minister of Bihar, that also sought quashing of the three chargesheets filed in 2022, 2023 and 2024 and the subsequent orders of cognisance in the matter.

"The petition, being devoid of merit, is dismissed," the judge said while pronouncing the verdict.
A detailed copy of the verdict is awaited.
