Former Communications and IT Minister, Mr A. Raja, arrested for his role in the 2G scam, will begin his arguments on charges of cheating, forgery and criminal conspiracy against him from Monday.
With the CBI completing its arguments on framing of charges against Mr Raja and 16 others, including 3 telecom firms, the former minister will begin his arguments from July 25.
“Arguments on charge for prosecution heard and concluded. Put up for arguments on charge for the accused persons on July 25, 2011,” Special CBI Judge, Mr O.P. Saini, said.
While concluding his arguments, the Special Public Prosecutor, Mr U.U. Lalit, told the court that going purely by the note on revision of licence fee by Indian Revenue Service officer, Ms Manju Madhavan, or the Prime Minister’s letter, a loss of Rs 30,000 crore has been caused to the public exchequer.
