The petitioner NGO in the coal scam PIl filed a fresh application in Supreme Court on Monday to demand a special investigation team to probe the current controversy of Government “vetting” the CBI status report.
With the Government and CBI having lied to the Supreme Court on the previous date of hearing on March 12 denying any part of the investigation being shared with the political executive, NGO’s counsel Prashant Bhushan accused the Government’s law officers of “contempt”. He demanded an independent probe by an SIT, headed by retired judge, into Government’s interference in the coal scam investigation. PNS
