New Delhi: CBI has filed an FIR against former CBI director Ranjit Sinha in a coal blocks allocation case on Tuesday.

He is accused of influencing investigation in the coal block case.

The Supreme Court on March 24 had earlier dismissed a plea of former CBI Director Ranjit Sinha seeking recall of its earlier order constituting an SIT to probe the allegations of prima facie scuttling the investigation in coal scam cases.

A three-judge bench headed by Justice Madan B Lokur had said there were no reasons to recall the order of January 23 this year in which the apex court had observed that a prima facie case was "definitely" made out for probing allegations of abuse of authority by Sinha when he was the CBI Director.
