The Central Bureau of Investigation was on Friday grilled by a city court for only blaming Government servants and not naming any company officials in connection with the charge sheet against Airtel, Vodafone and others for alleged irregularities in the allocation of additional spectrum to them during the NDA regime.
"In a conspiracy, there must be two parties. You (CBI) are blaming only the Government servants. Why not the private personsIJ Who did the conspiracy with the Government servantsIJ" Special CBI Judge OP Saini asked. On being quizzed by the judge, CBI prosecutor KK Goyal said they had tried their best to find out if any company official was part of the conspiracy but they could not. The court, after hearing CBI's arguments, reserved its order for March 19 on the issue of taking cognisance of the charge sheet.
