New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to appoint an SIT for further probe in 2G spectrum scam but sought the assistance of Central Vigilance Commission to help it monitor the investigation done by different agencies in view of involvement of several influential persons in the scam.
"Keeping in view the nature of the case and involvement of a large number of influential persons, we feel that it will be appropriate to require the Central Vigilance Commissioner and the Senior Vigilance Commissioner appointed under Section 3(2) of the 2003 CVC Act to render assistance to the Court in effectively monitoring further investigation of the case," a bench of justices G S Singhvi and A K Ganguly said.
The apex court directed CBI, ED and other government agencies to give their status report in a sealed envelope to the CVC which would give its suggestion to it on the probe done by them.
The Court passed the order on a plea of an NGO, Center for Public Interest Litigation, and Janata Party President Subramaniun Swamy, seeking its direction to appoint SIT by raising questions on the probe done by the government agencies.
The court, however, was not convinced by its arguments and expressed satisfaction on the probe done so far by the agencies.
