The Supreme Court today issued notice to the Centre and the CBI on a PIL seeking Special Investigating Team probe in coal block allocation scam. It refused to stay government's decision by which coal blocks were allocated to companies. The court had earlier posed six questions on coal block allocations and the alleged irregularities reported by the CAG.
The present PIL requested the court to appoint a special investigation team alleging that the CBI would not proceed against Union ministers and their kin who have benefited from the coal scam.
The petitioner accused the Reliance Ultra Mega Power Project of diverting coal to other projects illegally.
