 "CBI completes probe in six cases relating to coal scam")
CBI has concluded its probe in six FIRs related to allocation of coal blocks and is likely to intimate the Supreme Court about it in its upcoming status report on Monday.
While the sources remained tightlipped about the specific cases in which investigations have been completed, they said they were in the proces of finalising six cases.
After the last bit of scrutiny and completion of technical formalities, the agency may go ahead with filing its final report before the competent courts, they said.
The Supreme Court is monitoring the probe in the coal scam to "restore the larger public interest and confidence of the people into the case of this magnitude".
The court is scrutinizing coal blocks allocation since 1993 on three PILs seeking cancellation of blocks on the ground that rules were flouted in giving away the natural resource and that certain companies were favoured.
