Rabri Devi Seeks Transfer Of CBI, ED Cases Citing Bias

Former Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi on Monday filed a plea seeking the transfer of cases registered against her by the CBI and Enforcement Directorate (ED), citing a “reasonable apprehension” that she would not receive fair and impartial justice.

According to Media, Devi is named as an accused in four cases, including the land-for-jobs and IRCTC scam cases, which are currently being heard by Special Judge Vishal

The plea, submitted before the Principal District and Sessions Judge, stated: “The applicant (Devi) is having a bonafide and reasonable apprehension that fair and impartial justice will not be rendered by the Special Judge and that the conduct of the Special Judge during the proceedings in all cases appears to be unduly inclined towards the prosecution and bias which can be seen from number of instances of the case proceedinds/order.”
