New Delhi: A special court today asked the CBI as to what was the "hurry" in filing a closure report in the coal blocks allocation case in which it had earlier lodged an FIR against top industrialist Kumar Mangalam Birla and others.

"What was the hurry to close this case?" Special CBI Judge Bharat Parashar asked the agency's investigating officer (IO). During the hearing, the IO told the court that original minutes of the screening committee meeting, in which Birla- owned Hindalco's application seeking coal blocks allocation was dealt with, were "missing".
