NEW DELHI: Supreme Court today directed the CBI to file chargesheets in coal scam cases in which probe has been completed by February and expeditiously take pending approvals from competent authorities in other cases.
A bench of Justices M B Lokur, Kurian Joseph and A K Sikri told CBI that there should not be unnecessary delay in filing the three chargesheets and taking approvals from competent authorities in cases in which the investigation is complete.
Advocate Prashant Bhushan appearing for NGO Common Cause sought clarification from the bench whether the newly- appointed apex court panel, headed by incumbent CBI director, will look into the preliminary enquiries (PEs) which have been closed after initial investigation.
He alleged that the PE was closed in case of Sasan project in which even the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) had said that diversion had resulted in Rs 29,000 crore loss to the state exchequer.
“The new SIT should see whether the matter requires further enquiry or not. Closing the matters at PE level is not sufficient,” Bhushan said. (AGENCIES)
