New Delhi The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has yet again written to the Civil Aviation Ministry seeking sanction to prosecute six of its officials for alleged irregularities in the over Rs 8,000 crore Airbus deal for supplying of 43 aircraft to erstwhile Indian Airlines in 2005.
The issue of granting sanction to the prosecution has been deferred for the last four months and the Aviation Ministry had sent back the file to the CBI in January saying the agency may reconsider its decision to file an FIR against its officials, including one of the rank of Additional Secretary, a move spurned by the investigating body, official sources said.
A fresh reminder had been sent along with excerpts of some of the rulings of Supreme Court where delay by competent authorities had been severely criticised, the sources said.
