Rabri Devi Seeks Transfer of Four CBI/ED Cases, Alleges Bias by Delhi Trial Judge

She asks the Principal District and Sessions Judge to move the IRCTC, land-for-jobs and related money-laundering cases from Special Judge Vishal Gogne citing a reasonable fear of bias.

Overview

  • Rabri Devi filed a transfer application at Rouse Avenue Courts seeking to move four cases from Special Judge Vishal Gogne to another competent court.
  • The plea covers the IRCTC hotel corruption case, the land-for-jobs case, and two linked Enforcement Directorate money-laundering matters.
  • Her application claims the judge is unduly inclined toward the prosecution and conducts proceedings with a premeditated intent to convict, citing specific instances.
  • The petition is listed before the Principal District and Sessions Judge, with the hearing expected to be taken up soon.
  • Proceedings have advanced in these matters, with charges framed on October 13 in the IRCTC case against Lalu Prasad Yadav, Rabri Devi, Tejashwi Yadav and others, while the land-for-jobs case remains at the charge stage.
