SC to examine CBI's coal scam status report today

October 29, 2013 08:54

The Supreme Court will today examine the Central Bureau of Investigation's status report on the coal scam.

The status report was filed on October 22, a week after the CBI accused one of India's top industrialists Kumar Mangalam Birla of illegally bagging a coal mining license that was cleared by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

The CBI sources say the status report gives details of the controversial FIR filed against Mr Birla, chairman of the $40 billion Aditya Birla Group, former Coal Secretary PC Parakh and the "competent authority" mentioned but not named by the investigating agency.

Dr Singh last week said he is not above law and is willing to answer all questions. "If there is anything that the CBI, or for that matter anyone, wants to ask, I have nothing to hide," he said.
