The Supreme Court today allowed government to withdraw its petition seeking review of the 2G judgement. The apex court criticized the government for circulating a letter on its intention to various parties linked to the matter. It granted withdrawal of the review petition on the oral request made by Additional Solicitor General Indira Jaising.

The government said in its letter that an application would be moved on May 10 for withdrawing the petition seeking review of the February 2 judgement which had held the first come-first serve policy as unconstitutional. The apex court had also cancelled 122 2G licences, allotted during the tenure of former Telecom Minister A Raja.
