The High Court of Karnataka on Thursday directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to submit a report on the investigations carried out against Seemant Kumar Singh, Additional Director-General of Police (Anti-Corruption Bureau), in connection with his role in illegal mining cases as he had served as the Superintendent of Police (SP) of Ballari during 2010.
Justice H.P. Sandesh issued the direction after the State government counsel informed the court that the CBI had conducted searches at his residence and offices during 2013 in connection with the illegal mining cases but it had not made any recommendations against Mr. Singh and the seized materials were returned to him.
