New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday will resume hearing on a plea seeking probe against former CBI Director Ranjit Sinha, who was accused of scuttling investigations in the coal block allocation scam.

The CVC has to inform the court about the assistance it could provide in the probe against former CBI Director.

The Centre had earlier told the Supreme Court it needed to rethink the mode to probe alleged clandestine meetings of ex-CBI director Ranjit Sinha with 2G spectrum scam and coal scam accused as the court-proposed SIT headed by ex-CBI special director M L Sharma was proving to be a very costly affair.

Attorney general Mukul Rohatgi informed a bench of Justices Madan B Lokur, Kurian Joseph and A K Sikri that Sharma had sent a long list of infrastructure and manpower requirements to investigate whether Sinha's alleged meetings with the accused resulted in diluting certain cases relating to these two scams.
