2G Spectrum Case Defered for August 25 By The Court

New Delhi, July 5 (IANS) : The 2G spectrum allocation case involving Former Telecom Minister A. Raja and DMK Rajya Sabha member Kanimozhi was adjourned by the court here on wednesday for August 25.

“On account of voluminous and technical record of the case, files were still under perusal and it might take substantial time” said CBI Special Judge O.P. Saini.

The court had reserved its order in the case on April 26.

Raja was biased in allocating 2G mobile air waves and operating licences to telecom firms, causing a huge loss to the state exchequer, according to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

The CBI chargesheet said Rs 200 crore were transferred from DB Group to Kalaignar TV, which were kickbacks in lieu of allocation of 2G spectrum to Swan Telecom Pvt Ltd.

It held that a conspiracy was hatched by Raja, Kanimozhi, DMK supremo M. Karunanidhi's wife Dayalu Ammal and others and that the Rs 200 crore was proceeds of crime.

All accused, including Raja, are out on bail.
