Coal scam: SC-appointed team seeks visitors' record of Ranjit Sinha's official residence

India TV News  

New Delhi: The apex court-appointed probe team led by ex-CBI Special Director M L Sharma today moved the Supreme Court seeking a copy of original visitors' diary having names of persons who had visited the official residence of Ranjit Sinha, the then Director of CBI. The bench, also comprising Justices Kurian Joseph and A K Sikri, referred the plea of the special probe team to another bench headed by Chief Justice H L Dattu on the ground that the visitors diary, submitted by advocate Prashant Bhushan, has been kept in a sealed cover in pursuance of the order of that court. The bench headed by the Chief Justice of India has been monitoring cases relating to the 2G scam and had earlier ordered that the visitors diary, given by Bhushan on on behalf of NGO Common Cause, be kept in a sealed cover. The diary allegedly contains names of persons, including those who are facing court cases in the 2G and coalgate scams, who had visited official residence of Ranjit Sinha during his tenure as the CBI Director.
