Supreme Court, however, allows disinvestment of the Centre’s residuary 29.5% share in the open market
The Supreme Court on November 18 ordered registration of a regular case by the CBI into the alleged irregularities in the disinvestment of the government’s controlling share in Hindustan Zinc Limited (HZL) in 2002.
The top court, however, allowed disinvestment of the Centre’s residuary 29.5% share in the open market.
A Bench of justices D.Y. Chandrachud and B.V. Nagarathna said the recommendation of various officials of the CBI for converting the preliminary inquiry of disinvestment of HZL in 2002 into a regular case satisfies the court’s conscience that a prima facie case is made out.
