SC issues notices to Essar group, Centre, CBI on plea seeking probe into Essar email leak case
Agreeing to the petition, the court issued notices to Essar, the Centre and the CBI, and asked them to respond in six weeks.
Senior advocate Prashant Bhushan told the apex court that the whistle-blower in the case is being threatened by Essar group.
He said there is a great danger to his family.
The petition came after a series of internal emails and documents were leaked by a whistle-blower, allegedly a former Essar employee, and were published by the Indian Express newspaper last month.
Some of the emails also revealed that Union Minister Nitin Gadkari and his family used Essar vice chairman Ravi Ruia's super-luxury yacht for a cruise in July, 2013.
