The Delhi High Court will hear today Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav's plea to quash the CBI summons asking him to appear for questioning in the alleged land for jobs scam. #DelhiHighCourt#TejashwiYadav@yadavtejashwi#CBI
CBI has issued three summons to Yadav, however he is yet to appear for questioning.

The plea will be heard by Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma.
