By  |  April 13, 2015

The Coal Ministry has approached the Delhi High Court to initiate suo-moto contempt proceedings against Naveen Jindal and another employee of Jindal Steel and Power Ltd for unauthorised video recording of court proceedings.

The Indian Government is likely to rope in Competition Commission of India to investigate any anti-competition moves by Adan, Jindal or GMR in the recently concluded second round of the coal block auctions.

The matter is expected to be heard by the Delhi High Court on Monday.

Official sources said that Rajesh Sharma, General Manager at Jindal Steel and Power Ltd, was caught taking photographs and recording the confidential files being shown to the Delhi High Court by the lawyers of the Coal Ministry in an ongoing case.
