CBI Finally Files Coal Scam Report In Appropriate Format ,Against Naveen Jindal

[New Delhi] CBI Finally Files Coal Scam Report Against Cong Leader Naveen Jindal
The CBI today filed the final report in further probe directed by special court in the coal scam case against Congress leader and industrialist Naveen Jindal,
ex-Minister of State for Coal Dasari Narayan Rao and others.
Special Judge Bharat Parashar, however, took strong objection to the IO not filing the report in a proper format and asked him to do so by January 23.
The report filed before the court today contains CFSL reports, list of witnesses and their statements recorded by the CBI.
The court had earlier pulled up the CBI for delay in filing the report, saying it was affecting the progress of trial.
The court had allowed CBI’s plea that it needed to probe the case further in light of certain disclosures made by a chartered accountant Suresh Singhal, who had sought the court’s nod to turn approver.
It had also allowed Singhal’s plea for pardon and ordered deletion of his name from the list of the accused.
CBI had alleged that ex-Jharkhand Chief Minister Madhu Koda, also accused in the case, had favoured Jindal group firms — Jindal Steel and Power Ltd (JSPL) and Gagan Sponge Iron Private Ltd (GSIPL) — in allocation of Amarkonda Murgadangal coal block in Jharkhand.

During the probe into the alleged scam in Talabira-II coal-block allocation, Singh was asked by CBI, “When the letter dated August 17, 2005 of Naveen Patnaik addressed to you as PM had only requested to provide required coal linkage for the important project of M/s HINDALCO, which was already allocated, why did you approve the accommodation of HINDALCO in the share of coal in Talabira-II coal block.”
Responding to the query, Singh said, “This letter of CM of Odisha also mentioned about the allocation of Talabira-II coal block to M/s HINDALCO Industries Ltd. This was required to be looked into by the Ministry of Coal.

Congress Leader and Industrialist Naveen Jindal and other accused, chargesheeted by the CBI in a coal scam case.They faced special court’s ire for delay in completing the process of scrutiny of documents supplied to them by the agency along with its final report.
“It is too late now. By when you will complete scrutiny of documents,” Special CBI Judge Bharat Parashar said after the counsel appearing for Jindal and other accused sought time to complete scrutiny of documents saying the case records were voluminous and some of them were not legible.
“I have got the certified copy (of documents) checked thrice. Atleast 50 times you all have been allowed to inspect the court record. I will then hear the matter on a day-to-day basis,” the judge said.
Initially, the judge was reluctant to give time to the accused to complete the process of scrutiny of documents and said they would have to sit in the court today and do it.
You (accused) all be here and complete it today,” the court said, adding, “investigation officer (IO) will also sit here and will handover the documents to the accused as sought.”
Senior advocate Ramesh Gupta, appearing for Jindal and some other accused, said they have received certified copies of the documents and their scrutiny was going on.
Gupta sought one more week for completing the scrutiny of documents while the other defence counsel said some of the documents supplied to them were not legible.
“I am only saying give us one week more time and we will complete the scrutiny of documents,” he said.
The judge said, “No, I will not give any further time.”
Meanwhile, special public prosecutor R S Cheema requested the court to grant seven more days to the accused to complete scrutiny of documents.
The court, however, told all the accused that the process should be complete by August 17, the next date of hearing.
The court also asked the IO to ensure that documents now supplied to the accused should be legible and complete in all respect.
The case pertains to alleged irregularities in allocation of Amarkonda Murgadangal coal block in Jharkhand to two Jindal group companies, Jindal Steel and Power Ltd (JSPL) and Gagan Sponge Iron Pvt Ltd (GSIPL).
