Former Telecom Minister A. Raja has sought a review of the Supreme Court verdict on cancellation of licenses for 2G spectrum. He told the court on Friday that the cancellation violates the principles of natural justice and judicial norms as he was indicted without being heard. He contended that the findings of the verdict against him are bound to prejudice his defence in the trial of 2G spectrum allocation scam. Raja has been in jail for more than a year.

While canceling the licenses granted during his tenure, the court had earlier observed that the award of licenses during his tenure between September, 2007, and March 2008 was wholly arbitrary and contrary to public interest apart from being violative of the doctrine of equality.
