On Thursday, the High Court of Delhi adjourned the plea filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) & Enforcement Directorate (ED) against the acquittal of former Telecom Minister A Raja, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam MP Kanimozhi and others in the 2G scam case.
A Single-Judge bench of Justice Brijesh Sethi adjourned the matter & scheduled it for further hearing on March 24, 25 & 26.
A plea has also been filed against the CBI petition challenging their acquittal alleging that it is now ‘infructuous’ due to the 2018 amendment to the Prevention of Corruption Act. The appeal was filed by RK Chandolia, one of the accused in the 2G spectrum case & then private secretary of former telecom minister A Raja.
Notably, the CBI and ED had moved the High Court of Delhi in March 2018 against the acquittal of all accused in the 2G spectrum case which came to light in 2017.
In Dec 2017, a Special CBI Court had acquitted DMK politicians A Raja, Kanimozhi, & 15 others, implicated in the 2G spectrum case.
