The Central Bureau of Investigation has registered a corruption case against its former Director Ranjit Sinha on allegations of abusing his authority to scuttle enquiries, investigations and prosecutions in the coal block allocation cases. He happens to be the second CBI chief to have been booked by the agency in 2017.

The case was registered under the Prevention of Corruption Act on Monday pursuant to the Supreme Court directive to probe the charges.

According to the FIR, during the course of investigations in the coal block allocation cases, certain allegations were made about the “inappropriate conduct” of Mr. Sinha, the then CBI Director. The agency had instituted three preliminary enquiries pertaining to the allocations between 1993-2005 and 2006-2009 and 54 cases were registered against private persons and public servants.

Following reports that Mr. Sinha had met several suspects in the cases at his residence, the Supreme Court – which already had been monitoring the cases – took cognisance of the allegations. The Court held that it was completely inappropriate on the part of Mr. Sinha to have met persons accused in the coal block allocation cases without the investigating officer or the team being present.

The Supreme Court in its order dated May 14, 2015, said it was necessary to look into the question whether any one or more such meetings of Mr. Sinha with the accused persons without the investigating officer have had any impact on the investigations and subsequent charge sheets or closure reports filed by the CBI.
