The CBI on Monday moved a designated special court for slapping the fresh charge of breach of trust by public servants, against former Telecom Minister A Raja and two others in the 2G spectrum allocation case.Special Public Prosecutor U Lalit filed an application before Special CBI Judge O P Saini, saying a case of criminal breach of trust under Section 409 of the Indian Penal Code is “certainly made out” against Raja, his former private secretary R K Chandolia and former telecom secretary Siddharth Behura.The CBI plea said, besides Raja and two former officials, all others, including DMK MP, Kanimozhi and three telecom firms should be charged under section 409 read with 120 B of the IPC.The CBI, in its two charge sheets against the accused, have booked them for the offences punishable under section 120B, 420, 468 and 471 IPC besides various provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act.The defence counsel, however, opposed the CBI's plea saying, the prosecution just want to delay the proceedings of framing of charges against the accused.
