Lalu Yadav is serving a four-year jail term in Jharkhand for corruption. Ranchi: Former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Yadav's bail hearing in a fodder scam case, to be taken up today, has been deferred by six more weeks. Reports suggest the hearing was put off as Lalu Yadav has not completed half his sentence, a requisite for his early release. There is a shortfall of 40 days. The hearing was earlier deferred as the CBI didn't file its arguments before the Jharkhand High Court. Lalu Yadav, serving a four-year jail sentence for corruption, has been granted bail in many other cases linked to the swindle of government funds meant for cattle fodder.
