The Supreme Court today pulled up former Bihar Chief Minister Jagannath Mishra for allegedly dragging and delaying the appeal filed by CBI challenging the quashing of four pending fodder scam cases against him.<br/><br/>The bench disapproved of the delaying tactics adopted by Mishra, saying that it is very unfortunate and amounts to cheating the court. <br/><br/>The CBI has challenged the 2014 order of the Jharkhand High Court quashing four pending fodder scam cases against him on the ground that a person convicted in one case could not be tried in similar cases based on same witnesses and evidences. <br/><br/>Mishra was convicted by a trial court in 2013 one of the five fodder cases lodged against him.<br/><br/><br/> <br/><br/>
