Supreme Court Clears Manmohan Singh in Coal Block Case

The Supreme Court of India decided that former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was not guilty in a coal‑block case.

The court accepted reports from the Central Bureau of Investigation that said there was no crime.

It also cancelled a 2015 order that had asked Singh to appear in court.

Even though Singh had died in December 2024, the court still looked at the case to clear his name.

The decision means Singh’s name is no longer linked to the coal‑block scandal.

The case involved giving a coal block to a company called Hindalco in 2005.

The court said the earlier judge had wrongly ignored the investigation’s findings.

The ruling helps protect Singh’s reputation.

It also shows how the Supreme Court can correct mistakes made by lower courts.

This is the final step in a long legal battle that started in 2015.
