The Supreme Court on Monday sought the assistance of the Special Public Prosecutor in 2G case to decide a plea filed against CBI director Ranjit Sinha in the visitors’ list controversy.

The apex court ruled that all documents including the CBI file notings and visitors’ register of the director’s residence be given to the SPP.

The court agreed to hear NGO’s plea for recalling its order by which it had directed

>that name of whistleblower be revealed.

While turning down Mr. Sinha’s plea against hearing the case, the court observed that the view of SPP has to be considered as any order by it would have ramification in the 2G cases.

Meanwhile Mr Sinha told the court that there had been no interference in any of the cases probed by the agency and argued that the identity of the mole must be disclosed before apex court.

The NGO tendered an unconditional apology before the Supreme Court for its inability to reveal the name of the whistleblower.
