Coal scam: CBI takes contradictory stand, gets court rap gain
2 Oct 2014 6:24 AM IST
The court’s observation came after CBI’s superintendent of police (SP) and its investigating officer (IO) in the case filed their replies to the show cause notices issued against them by the court on Tuesday.
After going through the response filed by IO, the court observed that in his reply, he has taken a stand contrary to the conclusions arrived at by him in the closure report on one of the aspects
involved in the probe.
However, the IO as well as the SP informed the court that they had filed a closure report as they did not find suspicion beyond reasonable doubts to proceed by filing a charge sheet.
At this juncture, special CBI judge Bharat Parashar said ‘I also expect some better investigation especially from CBI, the prime investigating agency, in such sensitive case’.
During the proceedings, CBI’s prosecutor told the court that there was no malafide on the part of the IO in filing a closure report in the case.
However, after hearing the submissions, the court said it would pass a detailed order on the closure report as well as on the replies filed by both the officers on 15 October.
