In the mid of controversies on the ongoing probe and missing of files of Coalgate, CBI chief Ranjit Sinha on Thursday met Public Accounts Committee (PAC) chairman Murli Manohar Joshi.
During the meeting, Joshi sought the status of the cases which are under consideration of PAC and being probed by CBI. “CBI is inquiring into issues being considered by PAC. We wanted to know the status of the cases. We were tallying things. There was no briefing on any particular case,” Joshi said when asked about the meeting.
He said PAC has sought information from the CBI chief on all issues which “includes all those aspects which CBI is examining and the PAC is also examining”. The meeting, held at Joshi’s Parliament House office, assumes significance as both CBI and PAC are looking into the issue of coal block allocations.
While CBI is looking into the criminality aspect, PAC is examining the CAG report on the issue.
