It had said the state government had allotted a hydel power project to a firm on June 14, 2002.
“The said company defaulted in the execution of the project and the state government granted several extensions to the company. After Singh became the Chief Minister, his government granted it a further extension of 10 months. The decision was made on extraneous considerations,” it had said.
On November 27 last year, the high court had asked CBI to file a status report on the action taken by it regarding the corruption allegations against Singh raised in the PIL after the agency said it was conducting an inquiry into the matter.
The PIL, filed against the Centre, CVC, CBI, Singh and Directorate General of Income Tax, has alleged he made a large amount of money through dubious sources and showed it as agricultural income to gain exemption from income tax and despite complaints to the Centre, CBI and CVC, no action has been taken so far, which shows malafide on their part.
