The Patna High Court admitting for hearing, the appeal by Bihar government challenging the acquittal of Laloo Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi in a disproportionate assets case, has come rather late. Laloo Prasad is about to complete his ministerial assignment in the central cabinet and the country has had to do with a minister whose integrity has always been questionable.
It is the country’s misfortune that an eminent lawyer, known for hiring out his talents to criminals, was responsible for manipulation of law to defend the tainted minister and his wife who had looted Bihar and are solely to blame for the backwardness of the state.
The TOI has wrongly described the situation as a set back to Laloo Prasad and his wife. It has take one year for just the decision to admit the ‘Special Leave Petition (SLP) against the duo in the High Court; Laloo Prasad would most likely complete a few more damaging tenures as a minister before any worthwhile verdict is passed against the fodder scam accused and his wife. In the mean time, witnesses will disappear, judges transferred, governments change and memory of his misdeeds dumped into the dustbin of history. Of course, while this is happening, Laloo has brilliant lawyers like Ram Jethmalani to bank upon to murder the law of the land.
