Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's discharge of Lalu Prasad Yadav, Sajal Chakraborty, and Dr. Jagannath Mishra under Article 20(2) of the Constitution and Section 300 of the Cr.PC was erroneous as they were convicted in one case involving the same ingredients of the fodder scam. The Court emphasized that the jurisdiction to try offences under the Prevention of Corruption Act lies with the Special Judge for the area where the offence was committed. The appeals by the CBI were allowed, and the High Court's orders were set aside, reinstating the charges against the accused.
