The CBI on Tuesday filed a supplementary final report in a special court hearing a coal block allocation case involving Kolkata-based Vikash Metal and Power Limited (VMPL) and others.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed the supplementary final report before Special Judge Bharat Parashar, who fixed the matter for April 16 for consideration.
The court was hearing the case pertaining to allocation of Moira and Madhujore (North and South) coal blocks in West Bengal to VMPL.
A first information report was registered against Vikash Metals and Power Limited and its officials, accusing them of making false claims related to land allocation to get undue advantage in the coal block allocation in September 2012.
The CBI had filed a closure report saying that charges against VMPL or its directors or even against public servants could not be substantiated during the probe.
The court on October 15 last year had refused to accept the closure report and ordered CBI to further investigate the case.
