Bharti Airtel CMD Sunil Mittal and Essar Group promoter Ravi Ruia
Wednesday appeared before a Delhi court following the summons issued to
them in a case relating to alleged irregularities in allocation of 2G
spectrum.
Central Bureau of Investigation Special Court Judge
O.P. Saini posted the matter for April 16 after Mittal's counsel placed
before him the Supreme Court order that postponed the proceedings of the
case till April 16.
Former Telecom Secretary Shyamal Ghosh also appeared in the court.
The
Supreme Court had earlier offered partial relief to Mittal, Ruia, Ghosh
and four others by directing the 2G case trial court to put off hearing
against them till April 16.
Hearing Mittal's plea, the court had
said it would examine April 15 whether he could be named by the CBI as
an accused in the case and be summoned by the trial court here to appear
before it.
Mittal challenged in the apex court the order of the special court summoning him in the 2G case.
The
trial court had issued summons for April 11 after taking cognizance of
the charge sheet filed against mobile firms Bharti Airtel, Vodafone and
Sterling Cellular for the alleged irregularities.
