The Supreme Court will hear on Tuesday the plea of bringing Reliance Telecom Chairman, Mr Anil Ambani; Essar's CEO, Mr Prashant Ruia; and the Tatas' within the ambit of the probe into 2G spectrum allocation scam.
A Bench of Mr Justice G.S. Singhvi and Mr Justice A.K. Ganguly will also decide whether a high-power panel should be appointed to supervise CBI's probe into the case.
The court had in the last hearing on April 27 agreed to hear the application of an NGO which submitted that CBI is not catching “big fish” who are the real beneficiaries of the scam.
Centre for Public Interest Litigation (CPIL), the NGO which brought the 2G spectrum case to the Supreme Court, alleged Shahid Usman Balwa-promoted Swan Telecom and Loop Telecom were the front companies for RCom and Essar Group respectively while Tatas' benefitted from funding Tamil Nadu-based NGO whose Director was DMK MP, Ms Kanimozhi.
