The Delhi High Court today sought CBI's response to a plea by Reliance Telecom Ltd (RTL) for quashing of charges against it in the 2G spectrum allocation scam case. A single judge bench of the apex court issued notice to the CBI seeking its reply within four weeks and slated it for hearing on January 12 next year.

The court, however, rejected RTL's plea to issue notices also to the Department of Telecom, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India and the Union Ministry of Law and Justice at this juncture saying it would consider later if they need to be issued notices.
