Tej Pratap Yadav News: The elder son of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav and former Bihar minister Tej Pratap Yadav has been relieved from the Rouse Avenue Court. Traveling abroad has been allowed. Tej Pratap Yadav is an accused in the ‘Land’s Replacement Job’ scam and he is currently out on bail. The court has allowed him to go to Maldives from 17 May to 23 May with a condition. Special Judge Vishal Gogane said that going abroad for an accused cannot be stopped only on the basis that he is serious. It is his fundamental right to travel abroad, even if he is an accused. The process of justice should not be interrupted, this is paramount.
What is the matter?
The case is related to the alleged scam in which Lalu Prasad Yadav is accused of getting lands in the name of his family or close colleagues in lieu of jobs in Indian Railways between 2004 and 2009. According to the FIR lodged by the CBI, there were huge irregularities in Group D appointments in West Central Railway, Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh) zone.
It is alleged that many candidates were taken from many candidates at a very cheap price or for free, which were later found in the name of people associated with the Lalu family. On 18 May 2022, the CBI had registered a case against several unidentified officials and private persons including Lalu Yadav, his wife Rabri Devi, daughters, Tej Pratap Yadav in this case. Tej Pratap Yadav was granted bail by the court on 11 March 2025, when he appeared in court in response to summons.
What are the conditions of the court?
- Bail amount of Rs 25 lakh will have to be deposited.
- Their stay in Maldives, the hotel address, the entire plan of the journey and the mobile number used during that time will have to be presented in the court.
- The travel period will not be extended under any circumstances.
- He can neither tamper with evidence, nor affect witnesses.
- If these conditions are violated, bail can be canceled.
Tej Pratap Yadav has received this relief at a time when Bihar’s politics is going through a period of upheaval. On the one hand, BJP and NDA are attackers about the allegations against the Lalu family, while RJD is calling it a political revenge action. However, the decision of the court shows that the judicial process is going on beyond political influence and every accused has every right to exercise their rights by staying within the purview of law.
