2G scam: SC issues notice on review petition

NEW DELHI, INDIA: The Supreme Court on Friday issued notice on the government's plea seeking a review of its verdict cancelling 122 2G licenses and holding that an auction was the only route for disposing of natural resources.

The apex court, by its Feb 2 verdict, had also held that the policy of allocating 2G licenses on a first-come-first-served basis was flawed.

An apex court bench of Justice G. S. Singhvi and Justice K.S. Radhakrishnan issued notice when it took up government petition seeking review of the 2G verdict in the open court.
