The court summoned them as accused after taking cognisance of CBI’s charge sheet filed in the case relating to allocation of Kesla North coal block in Chhattisgarh to Rathi Steel and Power Ltd (RSPL).
Besides RSPL, the court summoned its Managing Director Pradeep Rathi, its Chief Executive Officer Udit Rathi, its AGM Kushal Aggarwal for the alleged offences under section 120-B (criminal conspiracy) and 420 (cheating) of the IPC.
Special CBI Judge Bharat Parashar summoned these accused for March 13 observing that they had misrepresented the fact regarding possession of land which was an important factor in allocation of coal block. “Thus, M/s RSPL and its officers on the basis of the said misrepresentation about actual land in its possession, which was an important factor regarding the progress made towards establishing the end use project or its state of preparedness, deceived MOC authorities in recommending allotment of impugned Kesla North coal block in its favour,” the court said.
