On May 14, the court had agreed to order a probe against Sinha based on a plea from advocate Prashant Bhushan, who produced the visitors' diary of the former CBI director's New Delhi residence to accuse him of attempting to scuttle the Supreme Court-monitored 2G investigation in order to save the accused.
It had said that there could be no justification for Sinha's secret meetings with those accused in the coal scam.
