The CBI has received a fresh tranche of files and documents from the Coal Ministry and began examining them as part of its probe in the coal block allocation scam. CBI sources said the fresh set of documents came late last evening and the scrutiny has started. They said, only after analysing the documents, they will be able to ascertain the number of files which have still not been provided. Nearly 150 files and documents were to be received by the CBI from the Coal Ministry.

While hearing the case on August 29, the Supreme Court had directed the CBI to give a list of documents, files and information sought by it within five days to the Coal Ministry which, in turn, was to furnish them within two weeks
