Italy Israel Palestinians Two State Talks

The Supreme Court has cancelled a 2015 order that had summoned former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh in a coal block allocation case. The court ruled on Wednesday that the trial court had no valid reason to reject a CBI report that had already cleared him.

A three-judge bench, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant along with Justice Joymalya Bagchi and Justice V Mohana, accepted the CBI's closure reports in the case. These reports had found no evidence against Singh. The bench allowed his appeal and closed the case for good.

Dr. Singh died in December 2024. Even though his death meant the appeal could simply have been dropped, the judges chose to examine the case anyway. They wanted to address the harsh remarks the trial court had made about him.The Supreme Court has cancelled a 2015 order that had summoned former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh in a coal block allocation case.
