Описание: The Supreme Court has closed criminal proceedings against former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh in the coal block allocation case, nearly two years after his death. The apex court accepted the CBI’s closure reports and ruled that there was no sufficient material to proceed against him.

The case was linked to the allocation of the Talabira-II coal block in Odisha, part of the wider coal block allocation controversy that triggered a major political debate and multiple legal proceedings. The court observed that there were no valid grounds for rejecting the CBI’s findings or continuing the case against Singh.
