Appoint best prosecutor in 2G case: court by J Venkatesan

The Supreme Court, hearing the 2G spectrum scam case, on Wednesday asked the CBI to appoint the best person as public prosecutor to conduct the trial in the special court, to be appointed before March 29.

Senior counsel K.K. Venugopal, appearing for the CBI, said he would take instructions and a suitable person would be appointed.

Earlier, the CBI told a Bench of Justices G.S. Singhvi and A.K. Ganguly that it would file a charge sheet against the former Communications Minister, A. Raja; two companies and some others by March 31.

The CBI counsel said that initially the main charge sheet would be filed against Mr. Raja and others. This would be the beginning. Supplementary charge sheets would be filed later against the beneficiaries of the scam. In respect of Mr. Raja and others, besides charges under the Prevention of Corruption Act, charges for conspiracy, cheating and forgery under the Indian Penal Code would be filed.

When counsel Prashant Bhushan insisted that the court appoint a committee to oversee the day-to-day investigation, Attorney-General G.E. Vahanvati said such a panel would demoralise the CBI officers, who were doing a tremendous job. Mr. Venugopal also opposed the setting up of such a committee saying the CBI and Enforcement Directorate officers were working 20-22 hours a day without any break and holidays. He said raids were being conducted at many places even on Sundays and they were committed to bringing the perpetrators to justice.

Further hearing is posted to March 29.
