2G scam: CBI submits status report in Supreme Court | | The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Monday
submitted its status report in the 2G spectrum scam to the Supreme Court. The
apex court will hear the case on Tuesday. In the last hearing, the Supreme Court
slammed the CBI, asking it why it had take more than a year to investigate the
matter. The report may give details about the materials they have examined, the
calls intercepted and also over eight thousand documents that were examined. The
apex court, earlier on November 25, had castigated the CBI on why it had not
questioned
Raja and the Telecom Secretary in the case, saying the agency was "beating around
the bush" when "illegality is prima facie evident." The Comptroller and Auditor
General (CAG) report is replete with remarks about direct involvement of Raja
in the irregularities," observed the Supreme Court bench. A report tabled in the
Parliament recently held Raja responsible for causing losses estimated at rupees
1.76 trillion to the exchequer in the 2G telecom spectrum allotments by favouring
some operators and not resorting to auction. The report further states that Raja
had no apparent logical or valid reason to ignore the advice of the Law and Finance
Ministries while allocating telecom spectrum to several firms in 2007-08.
