CBI had filed the closure report in the case in which it had earlier registered an FIR against JLD Yavatmal Energy, its directors Vijay Darda, his son Devendra Darda, Rajendra Darda, Manoj Jayaswal, Anand Jayaswal and Abhishek Jayaswal and other unknown persons
A special court on Thursday directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to further investigate an alleged scam in coal blocks allocation, involving Rajya Sabha MP Vijay Darda and others, in which the agency had filed a closure report.
Special CBI Judge Bharat Parashar has asked CBI to file a progress report of its probe on 19th December.
“Vide my separate detailed order, the matter has been sent for further investigation,” the judge said.
CBI had filed the closure report in the case in which it had earlier registered an FIR against JLD Yavatmal Energy Ltd, its directors Vijay Darda, his son Devendra Darda, Rajendra Darda, Manoj Jayaswal, Anand Jayaswal and Abhishek Jayaswal and other unknown persons.
CBI had lodged an FIR in the case against six individuals, the firm and unknown persons under sections 420 (cheating) and 120B (criminal conspiracy) of the IPC.
The agency, however, had later on filed a closure report in the case, saying that no undue benefit was given to JLD Yavatmal Energy Ltd by the Coal Ministry in the allocation of coal blocks to it.
In its closure report, the agency has said that nothing substantial has emerged to establish cheating and criminal conspiracy among officials of the Ministry of Coal and JLD Yavatmal Energy Ltd’s directors.
CBI, which had earlier alleged in its FIR that JLD Yavatmal wrongfully concealed previous allocation of four coal blocks to its group companies in 1999-2005, has said in its closure report that even if it had revealed this, it would not have been disqualified for getting the coal blocks.
The report had said that investigation could not establish that JLD Yavatmal Energy Ltd has obtained any undue benefit from the Ministry of Coal with regard to its non-declaration of previous coal blocks.
