2G case: Hearing on Raja's bail plea today

May 11, 2012 09:38

A Delhi court is likely to hear on Friday arguments on the bail plea of former Telecom Minister A Raja who is in custody since his arrest on February 2 last year and is facing trial in the 2G spectrum allocation scam case.

Raja, in his bail plea, contended that he is "innocent" and the case against him is "false and fabricated".

"The case against the petitioner (Raja) is false and fabricated and is not sustainable on law or on facts. The petitioner is innocent and is likely to get acquitted. All the individual accused persons in this case, except the petitioner, have been released on bail .... The petitioner is entitled to bail on the grounds of parity," Raja had said.

The DMK MP had filed the bail plea on the ground of parity with other 13 accused who all have been granted the relief by the Supreme Court, the Delhi High Court and the special court trying the case.
