New Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday filed its closure report in Delhi court over the coal block allocation case in which industrialist Kumar Mangalam Birla and others were named.
The Court will consider CBI's closure report on 01 September.
CBI in its FIR had named former Coal Secretary P C Parakh and KM Birla in connection with alleged irregularities in the allocation of Talabira-II coal block.
However, the allegations levelled by the agency in the FIR could not be substantiated by it hence CBI has decided to submit its closure report.
The agency had reached conclusion to include names of Birla and Parakh in the FIR in connection with allocation of Talabira-II coal block after scrutinising related files during its nearly 16 month-long preliminary enquiry.
The FIR related to allocation of Talabira II and III coal blocks in 2005 and CBI had charged Birla, Parakh and other officials of Hindalco under various IPC sections including criminal conspiracy and criminal misconduct on the part of government officials.
