Cbi vs Narayan Diwakar Etc. (Radhey Kunj Cghs) ... on 27 November, 2014
My attention is also drawn to the judgment of the same day
in Jagannath Mishra Vs. State of Jharkhand dated 21.7.2014 in WP
(Cr.) No. 305 of 2014. It is argued that several charge sheets and
fodders scams were filed against the erstwhile Chief Minister of Bihar
alleging that officials and staff of Animal Husbandry Department in
connivance with the other accused persons including high ups in the
administration have been facilitating withdrawal money from different
treasuries of erstwhile State of Bihar fraudulently putting the state
exchequer to a great loss. It is submitted that 64 cases known as fodder
scams cases were instituted at different places in State of Bihar. Most of
which were transferred to the State of Jharkhand. It is argued that four
cases in which, the erstwhile Chief Ministers were cited as accused were
filed under the same provisions of law. After trial, these Chief Ministers
namely Jagannath Mishra and Lalu Prasad Yadav were convicted in one
case each.
