The one-man committee has been submitted the report on 2G spectrum

NEW DELHI: On Monday the one-man committee appointed by the department of telecommunication (DoT) to probe the 2G spectrum allocation scam submitted its report to Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal.

The 150-page report is supported by 1,300 pages of annexure.
The report is based on the procedures followed for issuing 2G licences to telecom companies from 2001 to 2009. The Justice Shivraj Patil committee has named some officials in its report but said nothing on the role of former minister A. Raja.

The retired Supreme Court judge after submitting the report said his report emphasizes on the procedures of spectrum allocation.

Judge said, “We have identified the officials on whose part deficiencies took place or violated. We have made recommendations so that there is no repeat of such things and suggested remedial measures in the last part of the report.”

He said there was difficulty in getting some documents in original since those were with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which is also investigating the matter separately. The committee was however provided the photo copies of these documents. He said the officials cooperated with the probe.

“We were clear that the committee should look at various procedures and give its observations. Some officials have been named and comments have been made. As and when we absorb the conclusions we will inform the people of the country on what actions will be taken,” Telecom Minister said reacting on the report submitted.
