The Supreme Court on Wednesday sought the CBI’s response on providing a copy of its probe report closing the preliminary inquiry into the disinvestment of the government’s share in PSU Hindustan Zinc Ltd in 2002.
A Bench headed by Chief Justice SA Bobde took note of the submission of lawyer Prashant Bhushan, appearing for an association of officers related to the PSU firm, that there were corrupt practises in divesting government shares in Hindustan Zinc Ltd during the NDA regime.
On being told by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta that preliminary inquiry into the case has been closed, the Bench asked him to apprise the court whether it can provide a copy of its closure report to the complainant which has alleged corrupt practices in the deal.
