**Rabri Devi’s Request to Transfer Cases Denied by Delhi Court**
A Delhi court has rejected the plea of former Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi to transfer criminal cases against her and her family, citing alleged bias from Special Judge Vishal Gogne. This ruling allows ongoing investigations by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the land-for-jobs and IRCTC scams to proceed in the same court.
On Friday, Principal and District Judge Dinesh Bhatt dismissed Rabri Devi’s request to move four cases involving her, her husband Lalu Prasad Yadav, and their son Tejashwi Yadav to a different court. The cases are part of broader investigations into corruption allegations linked to the land-for-jobs scheme and the IRCTC scam.
In a previous response to the court regarding the IRCTC case, the CBI characterized Rabri Devi’s transfer application as a “mala fide attempt” to mislead the court and undermine the integrity of the judicial process. The agency noted that the claims of bias were raised only after extensive hearings and the trial had progressed to the evidence stage.
As the legal proceedings continue, the focus remains on the implications of this ruling for the ongoing investigations and the future of the accused.
