With a number of high profile arrests in the last few months, including names like A Raja, Kanimozhi and Suresh Kalmadi, we on The Big Fight debate whether the scam accused should get bail or not? And if they do get bail, could they influence the trial?

Sagarika Ghose asks a panel of experts if the 2G accused should be given bail

The Supreme Court's decision to deny bail to Kanimozhi and Sharad Kumar has raised a critical question about how the judicial system use the right to bail. Is it being unnecessarily, unfairly denied? Is this a serious lacuna in our judicial system? What do we need to do about it? In an interview with CNBC-TV18's Karan Thapar, one of India's foremost lawyers KTS Tulsi, former CBI director R K Raghavan and the well known Bombay corporate lawyer HP Ranina, discuss. Your Opinion Matters! Should undertrials be jailed before a convictions? Is a cbi chargesheet enough to prove someone is guilty? Yes No Maybe

Are we already punishing the 2G Scam accused, even though they have not been convicted yet? Detention of under- trials for long periods in effect imposes heavy costs on the individual, and in effect is no different from being jailed as a punishment for a crime.

2G Scam 'Sham Loop': Murli Deora's Team now Cites Clerical Error in an attempt to save the Ruias!

Alert:Only 22% of the companies mentioned in the CAG Report are getting chargesheeted by CBI. Who are the rest? 2G Scam: Power of having big "Surname" in India like Tata, Birla and Ambani
Like 125

Recent scams in India not only tell about the free loot of scarce resources but also show the power of having big Surnames like Tatas, Birlas and Ambanis. It seems that India has been taken over by corrupt politicians in alliance with corrupt bureaucrats and businessmen. Number of PSUs (Balco, VSNL, Modern Food, Hindustan Teleprinters, etc.) has been divested at throwaway prices. Since liberalization from Licence Permit Raj, few industrial houses managed by people having big Surnames, have grown exceptionally by exploiting India's scarce resources, be it mines, oil, land, ports or spectrum, in alliance with the political masters. Small and medium entrepreneurs are going out of business, because of monopoly created by established industrial houses by lobbying with the government. When public becomes angry over revelations of such scandals, the strategy often employed is to start targeting second-tier selectively while protecting top-tier who can buy India democracy with the vast wealth gained by corruption. Recent example is 2G spectrum scam. When things were going as per the whims and fancies of Tatas, Birlas and Ambanis in telecom sector, there was no scam and no inquiry from CBI, ED, Income Tax, PAC or JPC. The moment new players entered in this sector, they were killed by these big people with the support of Indian beaurocratic system. People know that big corporate houses, like Ambanis, Tatas and Birlas, not only control the government but also play a major role in the formation of government and allocation of ministries, as apparent from the Radia leaked tapes. TATA Lets start with Tata first who has been shown as victim of DMK leader A. Raja policies in the CBI first chargesheet. Surprisingly, in the same chargesheet, CBI estimated loss of Rs.8,448.95 crores to the exchequer from Tatas dual technology licenses. Tata not only got 19 dual technology licenses but also got 3 new licenses in 2008 at 2001 price for which loss to the exchequer is estimated to Rs.22,535.6 crores. Till recently, two senior DMK leaders (PV Kalyanasundaram and VRS Sampath) were helping Tata by acting as director in Tata Communications. A. Raja considered Tata applications for dual technology licenses even though these applications were filed after last date. It shows, Tata was the biggest beneficiary of A. Raja policies and major contributor of loss to the exchequer claimed by CBI in its chargesheet. Tatas hand-written letter of November 13, 2007 (delivered personally through Niira Radia) to the then Tamil Nadu Chief Minister praising A. Rajas action defies the CBI story of Tata as victim. In this letter, Tata had complained about some powerful vested interest groups in the telecom industry but Tata had forgotten that he is also part of the same class. For this reason only, Tata got a clean chit in Unitech-Tata Realty deal and Voltas land deal with Karunanidhi family, and on the contrary, shown as victim. When unsecured loan from DB Realty to Kalaignar TV can be quid pro quo, then why not Voltas land deal? Recently, Tata regretted that his conglomerate couldn't enter the growing aerospace industry in India because his attempts to enter the segment were thwarted by corruption. Why is Tata complaining now in November 2010? Why he is not disclosing the names of the 3 Prime Ministers he approached and the minister who asked bribe from him? Why had he not filed any complaint against such minister if he really wanted to remove corruption? Does it mean that all private aviation operators are part of corruption or is he trying to show that Tata has created a big empire without being part of corruption? If it is true, why does Tata need to hire corporate lobbyist Niira Radia? Surprisingly, CBI had failed to unearth anything incriminating against Niira Radia whose leaked conversations with assorted bigwigs have riveted the nation. BIRLA Idea Cellular (Aditya Birla Group company) was also issued 9 GSM licenses in 2008 at 2001 price and accordingly, it has also contributed in the loss to the exchequer like others. But, CBI has found no evidence against Idea Cellular to prove any wrongdoing may be, because Idea Cellular is owned by Birlas or CBI is not sure about its calculation of loss to the exchequer. CBI also failed to investigate Idea-Tata connection (like Swan-Reliance connection) when it applied for license in Mumbai circle. Idea applied for this license in August 2005 when Tatas were providing telecom services in Mumbai and also holding more than 10% stake in Idea. Instead of rejecting Ideas application (being in violation of Indian telecom rules), DoT favoured Birlas by putting this application on hold till Tatas exited the company in 2006. Now, CBI is favouring Birlas by saying that its application for Mumbai circle was kept in abeyance for 6-month period to comply with DoT rule. While giving this clean chit, CBI has failed to check that there is no provision in DoT guidelines to keep the applications in abeyance. AMBANI In 2003, Reliance and Tata (fixed line operators) were allowed to offer mobile phone services, at first in the limited WLL mode (Wireless local loop) and later full mobility without paying the hefty fees paid by the earlier operators. Apart from Tata, the biggest beneficiary of change in policy was Ambanis Reliance Infocomm who gained thousands of crores of spectrum without paying a dime in additional license fees, and the then telecom minister are reported to have received benami shares of Reliance Group companies as a gift. Again in 2007, Ambani also got dual technology licenses (like Tata) in 2007 at 2001 price and that too, a day before the announcement of policy, therefore causing loss to the exchequer going by the CBI understanding. None of the companies which have got dual technology licenses, has been booked so far by CBI. In fact, for Swan-Reliance connection, CBI has made small employees of Ambani as accused and kept him out of its loop despite having a statement of ICICI bank manager that only Anil Ambani and his wife were entitled to sign big cheques. Even otherwise, it is unbelievable that these small employees were authorized to take decisions worth thousands of crores of rupees without taking permission of Ambani. CBI has closed its mind on a question whether these employees were the beneficiaries? RUIA Coming to Ruias who have recently sold balance 33% stake in Vodafone-Essar to Vodafone for a whopping amount of USD 5 billion. The Ruias are under CBI scanner as they suspect Essar of using Khaitans as a front for ownership in Loop Telecom. Current regulations prevent any entity from holding beyond 10% stake in more than one company in a circle. Essar was holding 33% stake in Vodafone-Essar when it applied for telecom licenses again through Loop. But it appears that CBI is not able to get hold of Ruias because of their name and fame. CBI in March 2011 admitted before the Supreme Court that first chargesheet shall be filed in April 2011 against 2 companies - MD of one company is already in custody and second company is linked to Vodafone. But suddenly, Ruias managed to keep themselves out of the first chargesheet. Till date, no one from Essar or Loop has been booked by CBI despite having a written compliant from Indian High Commissioner to Mauritius, Madhusudan Ganapati, against Prashant Ruia and I. P. Khaitan, saying that both Ruia and Khaitan came to meet him under the pretext of discussing the business environment in Mauritius but ended up asking him to share

2G Spectrum Scam | Latest News on 2g Scam | The Untold Facts

http://www.2gscam.co.in/

details on the Letter Rogatory sent by CBI to the Mauritius government. This incidence also took place before filing of first chargesheet but no action has been taken till date. On the one hand, CBI is opposing bail of 2G scam accused on an apprehension of interference in investigation whereas in case of actual incidence of interference, no action is being taken. In terms of magnitude of the crime, that is loss to the exchequer, Loop has caused almost equivalent loss as Datacom and Unitech has done. CAG also said that Loop was ineligible for license on the ground of objects clause and paid up capital. In case of Swan and Unitech, CBI has filed the chargesheet pending reply of the Letter Rogatory but chargesheet against Loop is being delayed contending that reply on the Letter Rogatory is pending. For Loop, opinions from the Corporate Affairs ministry (MCA) and legal experts are being considered but no such opinion was not taken for Swan-Reliance connection. In a recent communication, MCA has reversed its stand of April 13, 2009 confirming violation of norms by Essar. Surprisingly, Loop is aware of such MCA communication but CBI is claiming its ignorance. Why CBI is receiving various representations from legal experts and politicians to save Ruias? Isnt it sufficient to show how influential is the power of Surname in India? DHOOT Dhoot company (Datacom Solutions) also got 21 GSM licenses in 2008 at 2001 price and therefore, has a fair contribution in the loss to exchequer claimed by CBI in its chargesheet. Despite having recorded statements of DoT officials (Kirthy Kumar, S K Saxena, S E Rizwi and S C Sharma) saying that Rajya Sabha MP Rajkumar Dhoot of Videocon group was present at DoT reception where applicants were completing formalities relating to LOI. In fact, Dhoot partner in Datacom, Mahendra Nahata, was creating "disturbance and chaos" on crucial day of January 2008. Datacom is the major beneficiary of tweaking in FCFS policy by coming at number 2 position from number 9 position. But, CBI is going cold on these issues and protecting Dhoot brothers. MITTAL Though it is called as 2G Spectrum Scam, but investigation agencies are keeping their ears, eyes and mouth closed where the spectrum is. According to CAG report, old operators, including Sunil Bharti Mittal company, are hoarding spectrum of 150 MHz. Even in JPC, CBI stated that Sunil Bharti Mittal-led Bharti Airtel was allotted spectrum beyond 8 MHz in violation of eligibility norms. Five months have gone in the preliminary inquiry registered in January 2011 on allocation of 2G spectrum during 2001-07, but CBI is still busy in scrutinizing the documents, looking at the telecom policy and its implementation by telecom ministers. Justice Shivraj V. Patil Committee report is also being looked into by CBI (sent to it by the Telecom Ministry early this year) which has reported many faults in the functioning of the previous telecom ministers and DoT officials favouring old operators. How much time does the CBI needs to read Justice Shivraj Patils Repot of 149 pages and to convert its PE into FIR. Shockingly, when CBI says that it is busy in looking at the telecom policy, then pending such review, how it can blame A. Raja for tweaking the same, or is the CBI is again trying to protect some big names like Mittals. Recently, it was reported that documents related to the telecom policy of 1994 are untraceable in DoT. Could it be that the CBI is waiting for crucial papers to go missing and then to get into action? Delay Tactics Adopted by Big Influencers As per recent media report on CBI performance, at least 2300 cases are pending unsolved for more than a decade. The agency has at least 1000 cases pending for more than 15 years and 381 cases for more than two decades. As per K Madhavan, former joint director of CBI, "The pile-up happens due to various tactics used by influential accused. They want to delay the case. This is a main reason why 99% of the cases move slowly in CBI courts." The latest example supporting K Madhavan statement is 2G spectrum scam where persons like Balwa, Goenka and Chandra have been arrested. In case of Ambani, small employees have been arrested. In case of Ruias, the CBI chargesheet itself has got delayed, since this time, Loop was supposed to figure in the chargesheet. Why no action has been taken against big Surnames despite having all the evidences? Can someone believe that these small people, who have been arrested till date, were influential enough to tweak the telecom policies in their favour and against the big people like Tatas, Birlas or Ambanis? This makes it very clear that it is easier to buy anything in India if you are carrying a big Surname.
