2G Scam| Need For Deeper Examination, Re-Appreciation Of Entire Evidence: Delhi HC Admits CBI’s Appeal Against A Raja’s Acquittal

Published by Verdictum

The Delhi High Court today admitted a CBI appeal challenging the acquittal of former telecom minister A Raja and others in the 2G spectrum allocation scam case.

Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma said that on the basis of the material on record and the submissions made by the lawyers for the parties, a prima facie case is made out by the CBI and the appeal needs to be heard in detail.

“This court, after going through the material on record, the impugned judgment and the submissions made by the counsel for the parties, is of the opinion that a prima facie case has been made out which requires deeper examination of the entire evidence. There is an arguable case to convert the leave to appeal to a regular appeal.
