New Delhi: After getting their fingers burnt on the coal scam investigation, the Central Bureau of Investigation (or CBI) does not want to take any chances. In its report filed in the Supreme Court today before the hearing scheduled on Wednesday, the agency has said that while they will abide by the apex court's direction and not share any details of their investigation, they may have to in special circumstances.
The CBI sources said they have informed the court that they may need to share information in cases where they need to seek the government's sanction for prosecution. "When we seek sanction, we have to tell them the grounds of prosecution," said an official.
"We've also told the Honourable Supreme Court that we may need to share details with our own lawyers," said a senior official. The apex court, during the last hearing, had said that only the investigating officers and the CBI director should know details.
Apart from this, the CBI has also informed the court about the developments in its investigations. The agency said it has questioned PMO officials and booked Congress MP Navin Jindal and former minister Dasari Narayan Rao for manipulating the allocation process.
