Supreme Court to consider modifying orders that barred High Courts from hearing coal block allocation cases

The Hindu  

The Supreme Court on Wednesday said it would consider pleas seeking modification of its earlier orders that barred High Courts from hearing appeals against trial court orders passed in cases related to alleged illegal coal block allocations. The apex court passed two orders between 2014 and 2017 restricting the accused from approaching the High Court and had directed that appeals against trial court proceedings in the coal scam cases could only be filed in the top court. A Bench comprising Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar was considering pleas that urged it to modify the orders saying the Delhi High Court, being the appellate court, be allowed to deal with the pleas arising out of trial court orders related to coal scam cases. Another Bench headed by Justice Abhay S. Oka had earlier issued a notice to the Enforcement Directorate seeking clarification on whether the bar imposed by its earlier decision — restricting any prayer for a stay or impeding the progress of investigation/trial in Coal Block Allocation cases to the top court alone — also applies to complaints filed under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
