NEW DELHI: Activist lawyer Prashant Bhushan alleged in the Supreme Court on Tuesday that CBI Director Ranjit Sinha had been meeting people linked to those accused in the 2G case at his residence, a claim that the court will examine on Thursday.The CBI is the prosecuting agency in the 2G special court where a host of influential persons, such as former telecom minister A Raja, DMK MP Kanimozhi, government officials and corporate executives, are facing trial for allegedly influencing allocation of spectrum to private telecom players at below-market prices to the detriment of the public exchequer. The CBI probe is being monitored by the top court.Bhushan represents NGO Centre for Public Interest Litigation, whose PIL resulted in SC monitoring the case. In course of proceedings, he offered to place the entry register of Sinha’s residence as proof, creating a stir in the court.Other Allegations against SinhaThe bench, comprising Justice HL Dattu, who will succeed Justice RM Lodha as Chief Justice later this month, and Justices SA Bobde and Abhay Manohar Sapre, asked Bhushan to file the papers in a sealed cover. The bench said that it would examine the claim when the case comes up for hearing next.The bench did not give Bhushan an opportunity to name those who had allegedly met the CBI director. A newspaper report on Monday claimed that two ADAG executives Tony Yesudasan and AN Sethuram had met the CBI director on various occasions.Besides these two persons, Bhushan also alleged other persons linked to those accused in both the telecom scam as well as the coal scam — the latter referring to alleged irregularities in the allocation of coal mines — had also met the CBI director.Three senior ADAG executives are facing trial in the case. They are currently out on bail.Sinha, through lawyer Vikas Singh , immediately sought a copy of the documents which were to be filed. Singh said that the director would contest all the allegations against him. The court directed Bhushan to give copies of the documents to CBI’s lead counsel KK Venugopal and Singh.CBI spokesperson Kanchan Prasad , earlier in the day, denied any meetings between ADAG executives and the CBI Director at his residence.“CBI denies existence of any such alleged ‘Visitor/Guest Diary' which purportedly reflects visits of persons at the residence of Director CBI,” the CBI spokesperson added.However, an official CBI statement sent later was of a general nature. “Reports have been published/telecast in a section of the media alleging that a few officials of a private company try to influence CBI in 2G case.The said report is false, baseless and malicious; and intended solely to destroy the credibility of the CBI as an institution and tarnishing the reputation of its director.” “It appears to be a part of a concerted design to malign India’s premier investigating agency. The matter is sub judice and any submission in this regard will be made in the Hon-’ble Court.The investigation in the matter was completed when the present Director CBI had assumed office and the case is now under trial,” CBI's official statement said.This is not the first time that allegations have been made against the CBI director. Last week, Bhushan had placed documents before the court to back his claim that the CBI director had tried to interfere in the case against Reliance Telecom and also the Maran Brothers, the owner of Sun TV , who are accused in another unrelated telecom case.In a detailed note submitted to court, Bhushan accused the CBI director of trying to destroy the CBI’s case against three top ADAG employees and Swan telecom. Swan got the spectrum as the Anil Ambani-headed Reliance Group was disqualified under the law from getting a second licence, the prosecution had said in the trial court.The CBI director allegedly wrote to the investigating officer dealing with the case stating that in his opinion on the date on which Swan had applied for the licence, it had been sold off by Reliance. Hence it could not be considered ineligible for the licence and sought a review of the entire investigations, which would have brought the trial in the case to a halt.This, Bhushan claimed, was enough to have the CBI director tried under the Prevention of Corruption Act for abuse of authority to benefit private parties. DIG Santosh Rastogi objected to this line of investigation and then asked to be relieved from the case, Bhushan claimed.He was then transferred and asked to face disciplinary proceedings. The NGO also accused Sinha of stalling a chargesheet against Dayanidhi Maran , the other telecom minister, in connection with the Aircel Maxis case, demanding that he recuse himself from the case.Sinha had earlier courted controversy when he was accused of showing the coal block allocation report of the CBI to the political executive before submitting it to court, despite a clear court order to probe and prosecute the guilty without fear and favour, without any executive interference.The bench also appointed senior counsel Anand Grover as the public prosecutor to replace UU Lalit who is now a top court judge.
