Decision on Swamy plea today

A Delhi court is to pronounce its order on Janata Party President Subramanian Swamy's plea to prosecute Home Minister P Chidambaram in the 2G spectrum case this afternoon. Special CBI Judge allowed only Swamy to enter inside the court room at 10 am and asked him to present himself before the pronouncement of the judgment.

Swamy had moved the court seeking to make Chidambaram a co-accused in the 2G spectrum scam.

The Supreme Court had on Thursday refused to direct the CBI to investigate the alleged role of Chidambaram leaving it to the Special Court trying the 2G case.

A Bench of justices GS Singhvi and AK Ganguly which asked the lower court not to be influenced by its decision had also refused to direct the CBI to investigate Chidambaram. The Special Judge, on January 21, had reserved the order for February 4 on the plea of Swamy.

Meanwhile, minister Of State in Prime minister's Office Mr. V. Naranyansamy has strongly criticised Subramanium Swamy accusing him of trying to tarnish the image of Chidambaram due to enmity and personal rivalry. He said Chidambaram, who was the then finance minister, had tried his best to change the 'first come first serve policy' followed by the previous NDA regime for 2G spectrum allocation to auction plan.

Narayanasamy said the policy was wrong and the NDA government was to be blamed for this. The minister said the Supreme court maintained that Chidambaram had tried in 2008 itself, but he did not succeed because the Government policy followed was first come first serve only.
