Ratan Tata moves Supreme Court on telephone tapping of Nira Radia | TATA Group chairman Ratan Tata on Monday moved the Supreme
Court against the publication of intercepts of his conversations with Public Relations (PR) representative Nira Radia, who handles the corporate communication for the Tata Group. The phone transcripts
are part of the evidence in the 2G spectrum scam and have been made public. Tata's
petition wants the Centre to probe the leak of tapes and take action accordingly.
Earlier, he said that taped conversation should be used for prosecution purposes
alone. He also said that the tape controversy was created to smokescreen around
the real issue behind the 2G scam. Earlier, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) had
questioned Radia for her alleged role in the scam. Radia was summoned after the
tapes exposed how she allegedly lobbied with senior journalists and telecom
companies
in the 2G-spectrum scam. The Central Bureau of investigation ( CBI ) had in an
affidavit said to the Supreme Court that the role of Radia would be examined in
the 2G-spectrum allocation case in which irregularities were of ''enormous magnitude''
having international ramifications. On November 22, the investigating agency filed
a fresh affidavit in the apex court, and said the telephonic conversation between
Radia and others were being examined.
