Coal scam: Court to pass order on CBI's closure report on December 16

NEW DELHI: A Special Court today reserved for December 16 its order on the CBI's closure report in the Hindalco coal blocks allocation scam case.

"Certain clarifications sought. Put up for order on December 16," Special CBI judge Bharat Parashar said.

During the brief hearing, the court asked CBI about some documents related to the case which have been mentioned in the closure report.

Responding to this, the agency's investigating officer clarified that all related documents have been filed on court record.

The court was hearing a case in which an FIR was lodged against industrialist Kumar Mangalam Birla, ex-Coal Secretary P C Parakh and others relating to allocation of Talabira II and III coal blocks in Odisha in 2005 to Hindalco.
