Madhya Pradesh coal scam: Special court adjourns hearing to 22 November

The special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Court on 31 October adjourned hearing in the Madhya Pradesh coal scam, involving former Congress parliamentarian Naveen Jindal, to 22 November.

The CBI Court has also asked CBI to supply documents to all the accused.

Earlier on September 4, the court granted bail to Jindal, along with three others, in connection with the alleged irregularities pertaining to the Urtan North Coal Block in Madhya Pradesh on a condition of furnishing a bond of Rs. 1 lakh.

Besides Jindal, the others accused in the case are Sushil Maroo, the former Director of Jindal Steel and Power Limited (JSPL), former Deputy Managing Director Anand Goyal and CEO Vikrant Gujral.

Jindal is also facing a trial in a case relating to allocation of Amarkonda Murgadangal coal block in Jharkhand.
