The Supreme Court on Wednesday stayed a summons issued to former prime minister Manmohan Singh by a special court in connection with a coal scam case.
The apex court took up a petition challenging the summons on Monday. Manmohan Singh on March 25 had moved the apex court to contest the March 11, 2015 special court order summoning him as well as Kumarmangalam Birla and then coal secretary PC Parakh.
The three were summoned for offences of criminal conspiracy, breach of trust, and under the provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act by the court which rejected the closure report by the Central Bureau of Investigation.
The trial court had issued the summons in connection with the allocation of 15% share in the combined Talabira II and III coal blocks to Kumarmangalam Birla's Hindalco.
