Delhi Court will decide on September 15 whether to put A Raja, Kanimozhi and 15 others on trial for their alleged role in the 2G Spectrum scam, which according to the CBI has caused a loss of Rs.30,984 crore to the public exchequer.
Special CBI judge O P Saini said today after special CBI Prosecutor U U Lalit wrapped up his final argument, rebutting the plea of innocence by all the accused, including three telecom firms, two bureaucrats, nine corporate honchos and a film maker.
Lalit wrapped up his argument while pleading to the court to frame charges of corruption and other penal offences against all the 17 accused and to put them on trial for their alleged roles in the case.
While concluding his argument, Lalit told the court that Swan Telecom and Unitech got the licences despite their complete ineligibility to get the same.
He said that both the companies off-loaded their shares soon after getting the licences and acquired around RS.73,000 crore in the process.
The special public prosecutor, appointed by the Apex Court to prosecute the case, however clarified that there is no evidence or material available on record to indicate that there was any quid pro quo by Unitech Wireless Pvt Ltd.
He added that they are conscious so far as the Unitech is concerned, and found nothing to show any money trial against them. He later said that there is no quid pro quo as far as money exchanging hands is concerned in relation to Unitech.
