2G review: SC dismisses telcos' pleas

NEW DELHI, INDIA: The Apex court on Wednesday rejected all the seven 2G review petitions filed by private operators and also dismissed an application filed by PMO.

Former telecom minister and main accused in the 2G scam A. Raja had also filed review petition, which was quashed.

Raja in his application said that the verdict violates the principles of natural justice and judicial norms and that he was indicted without being heard.

The court, however, admitted government's petition that sought clarity and detailed review. It will be heard on April 13.

Justices G.S. Singhvi and K.S.P. Radhakrishnan heard and reviewed the matter in their chamber for two consecutive days, before coming to the conclusion.

The service operators who filed review petitions include: Idea Cellular, Tata Teleservices, Sistema Shyam TeleServices and Uninor.
