Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) today indicated that it will register fresh cases soon in connection with Coalgate. The agency said, the former Coal Secretary P C Parekh has failed to explain the reasons for allotting coal block to Hindalco after rejecting it earlier. The CBI sources said, the agency which is probing the entire gamut of coal block allocation from 1993 onwards, is expected to register more cases before 29th of this month when it would be submitting its status report before the Supreme Court.

The Investigating agency is still probing three preliminary enquiries for allocation of coal blocks between 1993-2004, 2006-09 and awarding of contracts for formation of joint ventures by government companies under the Government Dispensation Category from 1993 onwards.
