Overview
- Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma issued notice on Rabri Devi’s revision plea and listed the matter for hearing on January 20.
- Rabri Devi argues the charges rest on presumptions, stating she was neither a director nor a shareholder in 2005 and had no role in the hotel tender process.
- Her petition says the CBI produced no valuation report or proof of undervalued land or share deals, characterizing the transactions as private dealings.
- On October 13, 2025, the special CBI court framed cheating, conspiracy and Prevention of Corruption Act charges against 14 accused and noted the transactions could indicate crony capitalism.
- In related challenges by Lalu Prasad Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav, the High Court declined to stay the ongoing trial, allowing witness examination to proceed while it reviews the charge order.
