In the wake of the Supreme Court's critical observations on the coal blocks affidavit issue, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is understood to have discussed with the government's top law officers the interpretation of the remarks made by the apex court.
Singh is believed to have discussed the issue with Attorney General G E Vahanvati and Solicitor General Mohan Parasaran to assess the implications of the observations made yesterday by the apex court on the issue of CBI affidavit being seen by Law Minister Ashwani Kumar and an official in the PMO.
The Supreme Court had described as "erosion of faith" the sharing with government functionaries the affidavit by CBI on investigations into coal block allocations.
The Prime Minister had yesterday said he would study the observations of the Supreme Court and whatever action is called for will be taken after that.
