2g Accused

A different bench of the Delhi High Court will hear on December 1 an appeal filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) against the acquittal of all accused including former telecom minister A Raja in the 2G spectrum scam case.

Former Union telecom minister A Raja on Monday told the Delhi High Court that the CBI's appeal against his and others' acquittal in the 2G spectrum scam case has become infructuous with the coming of the new anti-corruption law.

Special Judge Om Prakash Saini, who delivered judgements in several high-profile criminal cases like the 2G spectrum allocation scam involving politicians, bureaucrats and businessmen, in which all the accused were acquitted, retired on Monday.

The Delhi High Court Friday sought response of former Telecom Minister A Raja and others on a plea by the CBI seeking an early hearing on the appeals challenging the trial court's verdict acquitting all accused in the 2G spectrum allocation case.

The bail granted to Karti Chidambaram, son of former Union Minister P Chidambaram, in the INX Media case, has been challenged in the Supreme Court by the Central Bureau of Investigation. The 46-year-old businessman was granted bail by the Delhi High Court in March after being questioned by the agency while in its custody for 23 days.

The CBI told Delhi High Court that the trial court had failed to appreciate the evidence which proved that the accused had hatched a conspiracy to cheat the DoT for obtaining spectrum licence.

A Raja was accused of allocating airwaves and licenses for cellphone networks in exchange for kickbacks and causing the state a loss of Rs. 1.76 lakh crore.

After "Rs 1.76 lakh crore" and "zero-loss", a third figure has surfaced in the 2G spectrum case that crashed last month after a court acquitted all the accused for lack of evidence. A book by A Raja, then telecom minister and main accused in the case, suggests that before then auditor Vinod Rai declared that the Congress-led government's decision t...

Fresh out of his acquittal, former telecom minister A Raja has written to his former boss Manmohan Singh whom he was accused of misleading to pull off the 2G scandal. In an emotional letter that also appeared to take a swipe at the former Prime Minister, Mr Raja signalled his disappointment at the former PM not trusting him enough.

A day after a special court acquitted all accused in the 2G scam, one of the biggest corruption scandals to gut the Manmohan Singh government, Congress president Rahul Gandhi hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for what he called an "architecture of lies".
