The Supreme Court has dismissed curative petitions of several telecom firms for re-examination of its verdict cancelling 122 2G spectrum licences allocated during tenure of former telecom minister A Raja.
The apex court also denied permission to Raja to file his curative petition.
The companies whose petitions were rejected are Videocon Telecommunications, Sistema Shyam Teleservices, Tata Teleservices and Idea Cellular.
A bench of chief justice Altamas Kabir and justices P Sathasivam and G S Singhvi rejected the plea of the telecom firms and Raja saying “no case is made out”.
A curative petition is filed after the dismissal of review petition and is decided in the chambers of judges.
Earlier on April 3, 2012, the apex court had dismissed the review petitions of Videocon Telecommunications, S Tel, SSTL, TTSL, Unitech Wireless (Tamil Nadu), Etisalat DB Telecom and Idea Cellular.
A bench of justices G S Singhvi and A K Ganguly (since retired), on February 2, 2012, had cancelled the 122 2G licences holding as unconstitutional the policy of first-come-first served.
