New Delhi: The Delhi High Court is today expected to hear the petition of DMK MP Kanimozhi seeking quashing of charges against her in the 2G spectrum scam.
In the petition, Kanimozhi's lawyers say that there is no evidence that she conspired with the others being tried for the swindle, including her party's A Raja, the former telecom minister who is still in jail.
The CBI has accused Kanimozhi of criminal conspiracy, cheating and attempt to bribe a public servant, Mr Raja. She was granted bail in November. Kanimzohi's father heads the DMK and is a powerful member of the ruling UPA coalition at the Centre.
But Kanimozhi's lawyers say that she was only a shareholder in Kalaignar TV and that she played no role in its management's decisions. They also say that the money that was paid to Kalaignar TV was a loan that was returned with interest. The CBI says the money was sent back only after the case against Mr Raja began picking up speed.
