Patna HC rejects PIL against Lalu over Varun remark

Patna HC rejects PIL against Lalu over Varun remark
Patna:

The Patna High Court on Friday rejected a PIL against RJD supremo and Railway Minister Lalu Prasad seeking his removal from the Union cabinet for his controversial statement against Varun Gandhi.

Rejecting the PIL filed by a lawyer S N Pathak, a division bench comprising Chief Justice J B Koshy and Justice Ravi Ranjan said the petition was not maintainable.

Prasad had violated the oath of office and secrecy by the comment, the PIL said.

Lalu had earlier said he would have crushed Varun under a roller had he been the Home Minister.
