It is alleged that Lalu Yadav misused his post of Railway Minister and through this made appointments on ‘Group-D’ posts of Railways. In return for these appointments, he and his family had acquired land from the candidates at concessional rates or as gifts.

How much punishment can Lalu family face?

Talking about the possible punishment for Lalu family members after the framing of charges in the Land for Job scam case, Supreme Court lawyer Sandeep Mishra told INDIA TV, ‘Sections 8, 9, 11, 12 and 13 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, all of them have been involved. There is a provision of punishment up to 7 years in all these cases. At the same time, there are also sections 467, 468 and 471, so overall they can be punished with a maximum punishment of 10 years, if all the sentences are run together. But if the court gives an order to start the punishment one after the other, then this punishment may also increase.

What are the provisions regarding different punishments?

He further said, ‘When the court gives the order, it says that all the punishments will run together, then the upper side punishment is the same punishment that the convict has to face. This means that the maximum number of years the convict has to remain in jail is the maximum sentence awarded by the court.
