In a big relief to the UPA government, the Supreme Court (SC) on Friday gave a clean chit to Finance Minister P Chidambaram in the 2G spectrum allocation scam. The apex court dismissed Janata Party chief Subramanian Swamy's case and said that no case is made out against Chidambaram.
"No prima facie material to show that Chidambaram got pecuniary benefits. No material evidence available to show that Chidambaram abused his position," said the SC judgement. Swamy had alleged that former telecom minister and main accused A Raja and Chidambaram had worked together in fixing 2G spectrum prices. Swamy had also claimed that the culpability of Chidambaram is similar to that of Raja. A trial court had earlier rejected Swamy's plea saying there was no criminal intent behind Chidambaram's actions and he was not part of the criminal conspiracy. 2G Scam,P Chidambaram,Subramanian Swamy,CBI,Congress,BJP,Janata Party,UPA,Supreme Court,A Raja
