Bangalore, Aug 29; The Supreme Court on Thursday slammed the CBI for the slow progress in the inquiry of coal block allocation scam.
The Supreme Court also slammed the government on the missing files related to the coal scam.

"Why was no FIR has been lodged for the missing documents?" the apex court asked the government.

"You have to pick up speed for concluding the probe against all 169 companies allegedly involved in the scam," the Supreme Court told the CBI.

"You can't sit over documents which must be provided to CBI," the Supreme Court said to the Centre.
