  • 2G Spectrum Probe: PM to move motion in Rajya Sabha today

    Published on March 1, 2011

    Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh will on Tuesday move a motion in the Rajya Sabha to constitute the 30-member Joint Parliamentary Committee for probing the 2G spectrum allocation issue.

    The motion is expected to have the names of ten members from the Rajya Sabha for the JPC which already has 20 members from Lok Sabha.

    As per the deadline fixed by the Supreme Court, CBI is expected to submit names of beneficiaries of 2G spectrum allocation in the apex court.

    The Apex Court is also likely to resume hearing on two petitions seeking cancellation of all the licenses of 2G spectrum issued by former Telecom Minister A Raja.

    “The documents submitted by one telecom company to DoT for allocation of spectrum, on the basis of which their (telecom firm’s) priority was to be determined, are reported to be untraceable and could not yet be traced or recovered,” CBI told Special CBI Judge O P Saini in New Delhi on Monday.

    CBI, meanwhile, sought some time from the court for filing its reply on Behura’s plea that his bank accounts, sealed by CBI, be de-freezed as he needs money for treatment of his wife who had recently undergone operation for cancer.

    The court listed the matter for CBI’s reply on 15th March. Behura is now in judicial custody till 3rd March.
