NEW DELHI: CBI could question Odisha chief minister Naveen Patnaik in connection with alleged irregularities in allocation of coal block to Hindalco as he had written a letter to the coal ministry after application of the Aditya Birla company was rejected in 2005. CBI sources said as its officials were scrutinizing the documents they found a letter written by Patnaik requesting for a relook and reverse rejection of Hindalco's application for Talabira II block in Odisha. CBI said while no final decision has been taken as to who all would be questioned, the sources said the chief minister would be questioned only if need was felt to seek his views on the reasons for recommending coal blocks to Hindalco.

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's strong defence of the allocation of Talabira II coal block to Hindalco has created uncertainty about the fate of CBI's investigation into the matter, with many feeling that it may turn out to be still-born. Sources in the agency acknowledged that with the PM owning up the controversial allocation, they were in a bind. "We can't close the investigation straightaway and, having registered an FIR for alleged misconduct, will have to talk to all people concerned. But we are open to the idea of closing the investigation," said a senior source in the agency when asked about the fallout of PMO's intervention on the high-profile probe.
A senior CBI officer explained, "According to our enquiry, the joint venture between PSUs and Hindalco was designed to favour the private company, and it involved violation of rules. However, we will take a thorough legal opinion on whether there was criminality in this matter and if there is nothing against Kumar Mangalam Birla, Hindalco Industries Ltd and P C Parakh, there is a possibility that the case will be closed."
