New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday asked Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Director Ranjit Sinha to file a counter-affidavit against the allegations leveled against him by senior lawyer Prashant Bhushan in the 2G spectrum case. SC has adjourned the case till next Monday.
Bhushan also submitted the original entry/guest diary of the CBI director's residence saying it will be destroyed and hence he is depositing it with the court. To this, Sinha asked SC to disclose the source from which he got all the documents.
"Averments made against CBI director are serious and he cannot say that he won't file affidavit," observed the apex court. Sinha has been given a week's time to file his affidavit.
"Whatever you want to tell us, tell us in black and white," the court said.
Sinha has agreed to file an affidavit in a sealed envelope.
"If we find merit in the averments made against the CBI director then we would quash all the decisions taken by him during the pendency of the case," the bench said.
Bhushan had filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking its direction to Sinha to rescue himself from investigation and prosecution in 2G case, alleging that he is trying to protect some influential accused in the scam.
