RTL executives challenge framing of charges
20.05.12
Three top executives of Reliance Telecom Limited (RTL) on Thursday moved the Delhi High Court challenging the framing of charges against them by the CBI special court in the 2G spectrum allocation case.
Taking their petitions on record, Justice V.K. Shali asked counsel for Gautam Doshi, Hari Nair and Surendera Piapara to file a synopsis of the charge framing order as the special's court order was very long. The petitions would be taken up for hearing on January 16 next. The court is also seized of a petition by RTL challenging the framing of charges against it.
While framing charges against all the 17 accused in the 2G case under the Indian Penal Code and the Prevention of Corruption Act, Special Judge O.P. Saini on October 24 framed charges of criminal conspiracy and cheating against the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani-owned company and its three executives. RTL's petition in the High Court said no incriminating material had been mentioned in the charge sheet or raised by the prosecution during the argument on the charge sheet.
