In the light of the court's order on the bail plea filed by RJD supremo Lalu Yadav, convicted in the Doranda Treasury case of fodder scam, the affidavit was filed by the CBI in the Jharkhand High Court earlier on Wednesday. It is said that the CBI had said in its reply that half the sentence of Lalu Prasad, in this case, has not been completed yet. In that case, it would not be appropriate to grant him bail.
