Court says no to plea against PM, Maran in 2G scam

January 30, 2013 13:44

A Delhi court today refused to entertain a complaint seeking registration of an FIR against Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and former telecom minister Dayanidhi Maran for their alleged role in the 2G scam.

Special Judge Sangita Dhingra Sehgal said, "The present complaint pertains to 2G spectrum scam and the grievance, if any, of the complainant can only be addressed by the special court so nominated to deal and try the matters pertaining to the 2G spectrum scam.

"I am of the considered view that this court being special court dealing with the cases of the Prevention of Corruption Act, has no jurisdiction to entertain the present application.Hence, prayer made by the complainant is declined. Ordered accordingly."

The court's order came on a complaint filed by RTI activist Vivek Garg accusing the prime minister and Maran of "unlawfully changing and diluting" the original terms of references for vacation and reallocation of spectrum leading to the 2G scam.
