Delhi HC refuses to stay trial court proceedings against Lalu Prasad Yadav

Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma said it cannot pass an order on the stay application without hearing or going through the reply of the probe agency.

The court issued notice to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Yadav's petition and stay application, and listed the matter for further hearing on January 14. It also called for the trial court record of the case.

During the brief hearing, senior advocates Kapil Sibal and Maninder Singh, representing Lalu Yadav, said they are seeking stay on the trial court proceedings and two witnesses have been examined in a month.
