New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday allowed CBI Director Anil Kumar Sinha to take charge of investigation and prosecution in 2G case.
The Supreme Court had last month removed the then CBI Director Ranjit Sinha from the 2G scam case, saying the allegations against him of protecting some accused appears to be "prima facie credible".
The apex court, in an unprecedented order, had handed over the case to the senior-most officer after Sinha in the 2G scam investigating team.
The former CBI chief's role was criticised by the apex court- appointed Special Public Prosecutor Anand Grover and counsel appearing for CBI, K K Venugopal, also raised questions on Sinha naming a senior IPS officer as mole in the team.
The apex court had also recalled its earlier order by which it directed the NGO to disclose the name of whistleblower who had provided documents and visitors diary of Sinha's residence.
