<br/>The Supreme Court today held that the Bihar Government did not have the authority to file an appeal in the Patna High Court against the acquittal of RJD chief Lalu Prasad in a disproportionate assets case probed by the CBI. A bench of the apex court passed the verdict and allowed the appeal filed by Lalu Prasad, his wife and the CBI. <br/><br/>The appeal by RJD chief challenges the decision of the Patna High Court to admit Bihar Government’s appeal against their acquittal in the case by a special CBI court. The bench ruled that in the present case, it is the Centre and the CBI alone which are the competent authorities to file the appeal. <br/><br/>It further said under the law the state Government is excluded to challenge the trial court's order.
