New Delhi: The Supreme Court is expected to pronounce its verdict on the issue of framing of guidelines for grant of sanction to prosecute a public servant that arose in the wake of alleged inaction by the Prime Minister in granting nod to prosecute former telecom minister A Raja in the 2G scam.
A bench of justices GS Singhvi and AK Ganguly had reserved its judgement on November 24, 2010 on the petition filed by Janata Party President Subramanian Swamy alleging that there was delay in taking action on his plea seeking sanction to prosecute Mr Raja.
Mr Swamy, who made Prime Minister Manmohan Singh a party in the case, had initially sought a direction to the Prime Minister to take decision on sanction to prosecute Mr Raja but later on he sought framing of guidelines on the issue as his plea became infructuous with the resignation of DMK leader as telecom minister on November 14, 2010.
Mr Swamy had alleged that the Prime Minister had failed to grant sanction despite enough evidence against Mr Raja was given to initiate prosecution.
The government said as the CBI probe was going on it was necessary to wait for its completion before taking any decision on granting sanction.
