Land-for-jobs 'scam': Former rail minister Lalu Prasad moves Delhi to quash CBI FIR

Lalu Prasad Yadav has approached the Delhi High Court seeking the quashing of the CBI's FIR in the land-for-jobs scam, arguing the CBI failed to obtain prior sanction under Section 17A of the Prevention of Corruption Act. Kapil Sibal, representing Prasad, emphasized the mandatory nature of the sanction and requested a deferment of the trial court's charge hearing.
