New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday will hear the petition filed by Reliance Telecom Limited challenging a Delhi court order in the 2G spectrum allocation scam case. The Delhi court had summoned Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group Chairman Anil Ambani and his wife Tina Ambani as prosecution witnesses in the 2G case.
Reliance Telecom Ltd (RTL) had on Monday moved the apex court challenging the trial court's order summoning Anil Ambani and Tina Ambani as prosecution witnesses in the 2G case.
Anil Ambani was summoned as prosecution witness in the 2G case after a special court had on Friday accepted the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) petition to summon the duo and 11 others in the case.
The CBI had in its plea said that the Reliance ADA Group Chairman's testimony is needed to explain why Reliance invested over Rs 900 crore in Swan Telecom Pvt Ltd, facing trial in the case along with its promoters Shahid Usman Balwa and Vinod Goenka.
"I find that examination of these witnesses is necessary for just decision of the case," Special CBI Judge OP Saini had said and added, "The application is allowed in total and all 13 are summoned."
Anil Ambani had been questioned once in 2011 before the plea was filed by the CBI. Witnesses will start to testify in the case from July 22 but the date when Anil will be called in not yet clear. The agency had contended Anil Ambani, who is the Chairman of Reliance ADA Group, will be able to "throw light" on the issues of the alleged investment by his group companies.
