The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear a plea by the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) for clarification on whether it has to share confidential reports on coal scam with former CBI official M.L. Sharma who has been appointed by the apex court to enquire into the meetings of the agency’s ex-chief Ranjit Sinha.
A Bench led by Justice Madan B. Lokur scheduled the case for hearing on November 12.
The apex court had on September 14 allowed Mr. Sharma to access whatever records necessary for the purposes of the enquiry.
Subsequently, Mr. Sharma asked the CVC to make available to him its comments on the CBI’s probe in each of the 254 coal blocks allocation.
He has also asked the CVC to provide him the correspondence that might have been exchanged between it and the CBI on the subject.
