2G scam: Unitech MD wants charges quashed

The Delhi high court on Monday issued notice to CBI on the plea of Sanjay Chandra, MD of Unitech Ltd and an accused in 2G case, for quashing of charges framed against him by the trial court.

The court issued notice to CBI seeking a reply by March 13.

Chandra had moved the HC against the October 22, 2011order in the 2G case. “There was no evidence to show that the petitioner had in any manner conspired with any public servant to cause wrongful gain to himself or wrongful loss to the government of India,”

The petition said there was no evidence that he or his company had paid any bribe for securing the Unified Access Services Licences (UASL) .

“In the light of this categorical admission by the respondent (CBI), the petitioners case is no different from that of any of the non-prosecuted persons/companies who were granted LOIs in January 2008 or licences up to March 2007 and subsequently issued licences, or which were granted licences up to March 2007 at the entry fee determined in 2001,” Chandra had said.
