💨 Abstract

Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, aged 92, faced a legal case over coal block allocation but was later stayed by the Supreme Court. Singh questioned the need for a sanction for prosecuting public officials and denied any criminality in his decisions. The case concerned the allotment of Talabira-II coal block to Hindalco, with the Supreme Court stating that the case was based on governmental decisions without a quid pro quo.
