The court was hearing two separate cases related to 2G spectrum cases; one is being probed by the CBI and the other by the Enforcement Directorate.
The CBI has alleged that former Telecom Minister A Raja, during the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance's rule, had caused a huge loss to the exchequer as he had undercharged telecom firms for frequency allocation licences. The Comptroller and Auditor General of India had estimated the total loss to the exchequer from the scam to be around Rs 1.76 trillion.
