New Delhi: Two more corporate executives are set to face trial in the 2G Spectrum case on Friday. Anshuman and Ravi Ruia are among top executives from Essar and Loop telecom who have been summoned by a special CBI judge. The central probe agency has chargesheeted the 2 companies and 5 executives for criminal conspiracy and cheating to get the 2G license.
Earlier Essar, Loop and the CBI were on January 24 asked by the Delhi High Court to seek a decision from the Supreme Court whether the charges against them in a case arising out of 2G scam probe could be heard by a magistrate or the Special Court going into the scam.
For this purpose, the High Court asked the two companies and the CBI to seek clarifications from the apex court on its earlier directions to set up a special court for trial of the 2G case and no judicial fora, except it, would entertain any pleas related to the matter.
The direction came after a brief hearing on the petitions of Essar Teleholdings Ltd and Loop Telecom Ltd that the case against them, arising out of the 2G scam, be taken out of the court of the special judge to a magistrate's court as there was no corruption charges.
