Patna, April 01: The Supreme Court order that Bihar Government had no authority to challenge Lalu Prasad’s acquittal in a disproportionate assets case has not gone down well with ruling NDA, though the RJD chief and his LJP counterpart Ram Vilas Paswan welcomed the verdict.
Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi said the state government would decide its new course of action after consulting legal experts.
Modi said he had full respect for the Supreme Court and legal experts will go through the judgement and see what other recourse was there in the law.
He, however, said a copy of the order was awaited.
Prasad, on his part, said, “Supreme Court is like a God and its judgement is fully welcome and acceptable” but refused to be drawn into any controversy by refraining from targeting his political opponents.
