CBI today told a Delhi court that deposition of Reliance ADAG Chairman Anil Ambani and his wife Tina Ambani is required in the 2G spectrum case as witnesses as the firm’s officials, who were examined, have not given “clear—cut answers” as to who decided on behalf of their alleged shell companies regarding the radiowaves allocation.
CBI said although various witnesses of Reliance ADAG were examined during the ongoing trial, they have not given proper answers on various aspects, due to which they now want to examine Anil and Tina Ambani as prosecution witnesses.
“There are a number of witnesses from Reliance ADAG who have been examined. No one (witnesses) gave clear—cut answers as to who were the persons who took these decisions.
“There are seven facets of matters on which we do not have clear—cut answers and thus we want to examine Anil Ambani and Tina Ambani,” Special public prosecutor U U Lalit said while arguing on CBI’s plea seeking to summon the Ambanis and others as prosecution witnesses to “arrive at the truth” and for a “just decision” in the case.
During the arguments, Lalit said the court had on December 19 last year allowed CBI’s plea and had summoned certain bank documents relating to the case and now they want to examine some of these witnesses to prove the same.
