The Apex Court hearing two petitions seeking cancellation of all the licenses of 2G spectrum

NEW DELHI: On Monday the Supreme Court issued notices to the centre and the telecom ministry on petitions seeking cancellation of 2G spectrum allocation during the tenure of A Raja the former telecom minister.

Court is hearing two petitions seeking cancellation of all the licenses of 2G spectrum issued by former communications minister A Raja.

Also the apex court wondered how telecom minister Kapil Sabil could doubt the CAG finding when on that very basis the CVC had asked the CBI to register a case in the 2G spectrum scam.

Advocate Prashant Bhushan and Janata Party president Subramaniam Swamy have appealed court to cancel all the 122 licenses. The court had last week upheld the plea of Swamy.

Calculating the losses in 2G spectrum allocation, Kapil Sibal had questioned the figure of Rs 1.76 lakh crore arrived at by the CAG.
