New Delhi: A Ranchi-based company, involved in a coal block allocation scam case, on Wednesday moved the Delhi High Court challenging a special court order on framing of charges against it.
Justice Ashutosh Kumar fixed the matter for further hearing on October 10.
A special court had on January 27 ordered framing of charges against M/S Domco Pvt Ltd, its three directors Binay Prakash, Vasant Diwakar Manjrekar and Parmananda Mondal, chartered accountants Manoj Kumar Gupta and Sanjay Khandelwal in a coal block allocation case for allegedly misrepresenting facts to bag a coal block in Jharkhand.
It fixed the matter for October after the counsel for the company claimed that the court has the jurisdiction. CBI has alleged in its charge sheet that Domco Pvt Ltd had applied to the Steel Ministry for allotment of a captive coal block to set up a pig iron plant of two lakh tonnes per annum capacity at Rairangpur in Odisha.
On the asking of the Ministry in November 2000, the firm had submitted an application for allotment of coal block to the Ministry of Coal (MOC).
CBI said that on the basis of information and documents furnished, MOC proceeded to finally allocate Lalgarh (North) Coal Block in West Bokaro Coal Fields of Jharkhand in favour of the firm for their plant at Rairangpur.
