New Delhi, Oct. 8: The Supreme Court on Friday asked the government to respond to the CAG report pointing out largescale irregularities and favouritism allegedly by the telecom minister, Mr A. Raja, in the `70,000-crore 2G spectrum allocation scam in 2008.
A Bench comprising Justices G.S. Singhvi and A.K. Ganguly asked the solicitor-general, Mr Gopal Subramanium, to go through the the draft report alleging that the telecom ministry ignored the advice of the law ministry and the PM and alloted the license by favouring “ineligible” companies at the lower rate on first-cum-first basis.
