The CBI is likely to file an FIR in the case related to missing filed related to coal block allocations in the next few days after the agency on Wednesday received a fresh letter from the coal ministry giving details of files related to coal block allocations which continue to remain untraceable in the ministry.
CBI sources said the agency will soon meet coal ministry officials to take a call on proceeding with filing of case with regards to the untraceable files. Coal Ministry had sent a tranche of documents along with the list of files and records which have been traced. The preliminary analysis had revealed that not all files sought by the agency were provided by the ministry. In the communication through attorney general, CBI had listed out several records which the ministry had claimed that it has provided to the agency but were not handed over. CBI is looking for crucial records related to ongoing 13 cases filed by it in connection with the coal blocks allocation scam which include the letter of Congress MP Vijay Darda recommending coal block for AMR Iron and Steel, one of the accused companies.
Last week, the CBI had listed 150 files and documents as “not received” after which coal ministry had raised objection over the existence of such documents. In the list given to the coal ministry, CBI has also given a list of files which include allotments made to Tata Sponge Iron private Limited, minutes of 26th screening committee, allotment to Jharkhand Ispat Private Limited, agenda form sent by the company to Under Secretary S K. Kakkar.
The apex court had directed the coal ministry that if any document remains untraceable, then FIRs have to be lodged by the coal ministry.
