The petitions challenged the November 26 order of the Ranchi special court rejecting their bail pleas and remanding them to 14 days judicial custody.
Appearing for the CBI, Solicitor General Harish Salve opposed the bail pleas before a three-judge bench comprising Justice K T Thomas, Justice S S M Quadri and Justice U C Banerjee, which adjourned the matter till Thursday due to paucity of time.
On a query from the bench whether the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) president could be remanded to judicial custody in every case, Salve said that was the procedure followed with regard to other accused and cited the example of the former animal husbandry secretary, who had been repeatedly remanded by the courts.
Responding to a notice issued to it by the Apex Court on Friday, the CBI in its affidavit said it was improper on the part of Yadav and Mishra to rush to the Supreme Court instead of approaching the Jharkhand High Court to appeal against the November 26 order of the trial court.
The CBI, in its affidavit, also said that grant of bail in two fodder scam cases did not mean Yadav would automatically be entitled to bail in other fodder scam cases.
