A Bench of Justices G.S. Singhvi and K.S. Radhakrishnan said Mr. Raja’s apprehension that his case in the trial court would be prejudiced due to the verdict cancelling the 2G licences is “not well founded“.

The companies whose review petitions were dismissed are Videocon Telecommunications, S Tel, Sistema Shyam Teleservices, Tata Teleservices, Unitech Wireless (Tamil Nadu), Etisalat DB Telecom and Idea Cellular.

“We have carefully perused the review petition and the record of the case and are convinced that the judgment of which review has been sought does not suffer from any error apparent warranting its reconsideration,” the bench said while giving separate orders on the review petitions filed by the seven telecom companies.

While rejecting the Centre’s plea on the issue of sanction in which the Prime Minister’s Office was pulled up, the bench said its verdict did not suffer from any error and under the garb of review petition rehearing and reconsideration of the issue decided cannot be allowed.

“We have carefully perused the averments contained in the review petition and the grounds on which the petitioner (Centre) has sought review of the judgement and are convinced that the judgement of which review has been sought does not suffer from any error apparent warranting its reconsideration.

“In the garb of review, the petitioner cannot seek re-hearing of the matter and reconsideration of the issues decided by the Court. The review petition is accordingly dismissed,” the bench said.(Courtesy : Hindu}
