2G: Reliance Telecom moves HC for quashing charges

The Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (ADAG)-led Reliance Telecom on Monday moved the Delhi High Court for getting the charges framed against it by a CBI court in 2G spectrum case quashed.

Challenging the trial court’s order charging it with criminal conspiracy,cheating and forgery,the company contended that it did not indulge in any wrongdoing and charges framed against it were “wrong”. “No incriminating material has been indicated in the chargesheet or by the prosecution in its submission on the charges,” the petition filed by Reliance Telecom Ltd (RTL) said.

“The charges framed against the petitioner (RTL) had no basis in law. In fact,there is no act or omission attributable to the petitioner that has been indicated in the charges that justify the continuation of criminal proceedings against the petitioner,” it said,adding “The charges framed as against the accused indicate there are charges for multiple conspiracies and it is unclear as to how and when the multiple conspiracies took place and as to how they form a cohesive single conspiracy.”
