Why has SC recalled its reference to CBI as a 'caged parrot'

Justice Ujjal Bhuyan wrote, "It is imperative that CBI dispel the notion of it being a caged parrot. Rather, the perception should be that of an uncaged parrot.” Justice Bhuyan was referring to an observation made by Justice R M Lodha in 2013 while hearing a matter regarding alleged irregularities in the allocation of coal block licences to private companies, which was referred to in the media as the “Coalgate” case.
