New Delhi, Jan. 5 -- The Delhi High Court on Monday asked the CBI to respond to a petition filed by RJD leader and former railway minister Lalu Prasad Yadav, challenging the framing of charges against him in a long-running corruption case linked to the Indian Railways' catering arm.
For the time being, the court declined to halt the trial.
Justice Swarna Kanta Sharma, who was hearing the case, said no interim relief could be granted without hearing the investigative agency and scheduled the matter for further consideration on January 14.
The court was hearing both Yadav's challenge to the charges and a separate application seeking a stay on the ongoing trial proceedings.
