The Supreme Court of India on 4 April 2012 quashed the review petitions filed by seven telecom companies, whose license was cancelled by the Supreme Court in its 2 February 2012 verdict.
The Supreme Court bench of justices GS Singhvi and KS Radhakrishnan dismissed the petition as it found no merit in it. The Apex Court had voided all 122 2G licences allocated by A Raja in January 2009 on first come first serve policy. The court in its 2 February 2012 verdict had held the policy fundamentally flawed and unconstitutional. The court also dismissed the petition of A Raja, prime accused in the 2Gspectrum scam.
The Supreme Court, however, accepted the union government’s petition to hear in open court the petition filed by the Union government seeking review of its ruling cancelling 122 licences for the 2G spectrum.
The companies whose review petitions were dismissed by the court includes Videocon Telecommunications, S Tel, Sistema Shyam Teleservices, Tata Teleservices, Unitech Wireless (Tamil Nadu), Etisalat DB Telecom and Idea Cellular.
