Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal today welcomed Supreme Court judgement on 2 G saying that the apex court has upheld the government's stand. Talking to media in New Delhi, he said that Court has brought constitutional clarity on the issue.

Mr Sibal said that as far as policy is concerned, especially economic policy, is in the domain of the government. The Minister said that the Supreme Court has also opined that auction was not the only way for allocating natural resources. He said that institutions like CAG might have perhaps unwittingly, erroneously interpreted the SC judgement relating to the 2G case and thought that all natural resources must be auctioned. The government has never raised any question on Supreme Court's judgemnt canceling 122 2 G licences.

Mr Sibal said that government will implement the jugement in toto and auction process will be completed by December this year.
