What will happen to Lalu Prasad now that the Supreme Court has said the trial judge hearing the fodder scam case in a sessions court in Jharkhand cannot be transferred? There's no telling but the chatter in Parliament lobbies was that with this order, the Jharkhand court will be free to pronounce its judgment in 15 days. When that happens - and if Lalu Prasad is convicted - the Supreme Court ruling on convicted people not being able to contest elections may apply. Just as well the Rashtriya Janata Dal now has his son running the party!
