Court asked Raja to be Polite
NEW DELHI: The court asked Former telecom minister A Raja to be polite while asking the questions from telecom secretary DS Mathur during his cross-examination in the 2G case. The “loud language” used by the advocate in questioning him irked special judge OP Saini.
He said, “Please do not use loud language otherwise I can also be the same”. Senior counsel Sushil Kumar said “I am discrediting this witness (Mathur) completely. He says he does not remember what he had read in 2006.
It is his memory test. He remembers in 2012 the oral evidence against Raja but he do not remember what is there in the documents. “We did not say anything for the last two days (when Mathur’s examination-in-chief was going on) but today is the testing time for him (Mathur)”.
Raja said, “He (Mathur) is very keen with my notings on page number this and this, but as (a former) telecom secretary, he does not remember about the telecom policy”.
