Mr A. Raja on Friday filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking review of its order on quashing 122 2G licences issued in 2008 during his tenure as the Telecom Minister.
The primary ground for review of the apex court judgment, Mr Raja said, was that though he not a party to the petitions in the case, the Court in the judgment has condemned him for alleged illegalities committed by him.
These findings have been made against him in the judgment without issuing notice to him and without hearing him or considering any explanation which could have been given by him for his conduct, Mr Raja said.
The apex court's condemnation of his alleged actions and inactions as the Telecom Minister in numerous places is in violation of the basic principles of fair play and justice, he said.
Natural justice requires that a person should be given an opportunity of being heard and a judicial or quasi-judicial court order which condemns a person without hearing him/her would be void, Mr Raja said.
“The judgment of the (apex) Court in the present case has not observed these principles of natural justice,” he said.
He added that had he been given an opportunity to counter these allegations against him, the apex court would not have indicted him.
The findings of illegalities and favour against him are bound to prejudice his defence in the pending prosecution against him in the Special Court, he said.
