The Supreme Court on Wednesday received an initial report of the panel appointed by it to probe the alleged scuttling of probe into the coal block allocation scam by then CBI Director Ranjit Sinha, whose meetings with accused persons have been held as “completely inappropriate”.
A Bench headed by Justice MB Lokur declined to make the report public but handed over a copy to Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi for his perusal on condition of maintaining its confidentiality.
The copy of the report was given to the Attorney General as the Bench, also comprising Justices Kurian Joseph and AK Sikri, wanted his assistance after the panel headed by former CBI Special Director ML Sharma sought apex court’s direction for supply of documents relating to preliminary enquiry into some of the matters in which the probe was closed.
