Coal scam: Court questions CBI’s hurry to close case against K M Birla

“What was the hurry to close the case against industrialist Kumar Mangalam Birla and others in the coal block allocation scam?” a Delhi court has asked the CBI.

Original minutes of the screening committee meetings which dealt with the Birla-owned Hindalco’s application are missing, the CBI has told the court.

The court has pulled up the CBI for “dumping” illegible documents in the coal block allocation cases.
