NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday directs CBI to carry out investigation into 2G spectrum scam without being influenced by telecom minister Kapil Sibal's views. On Kapil Sibal's statement that CAG's estimate of loss in 2G scam was utterly erroneous; the SC said that the minister must behave with some responsibility. His statement will have no bearing on CBI investigations.
On CAG report, the Court said that minister's statement that no loss happened was very unfortunate.
The SC also issues notice to all 11 telecom firms who got spectrum during A Raja's tenure on Subramanian Swamy's petition seeking cancellation of all irregular mobile licences. On Swamy's plea for restraining the telecom ministry from accepting the fines to condone mobile licence agreement violations by companies, the SC said it will consider it one's Swamy makes a written plea.
