New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday said that Sunil Bharti Mittal, the chairman and managing director of Bharti Cellular Ltd and Ravi Ruia, the promoter of Essar Group, will not face trial in additional spectrum allocation case.
The apex court quashed the CBI special court's order making the two top telecom executives as accused in the case.
SC said the trial court wrongly applied the legal principle while summoning Mittal and Ruia as accused.
The industrialists had been summoned as accused by a CBI special court hearing the case involving the allocation of additional second 2G spectrum in 2002.
Their names had not figured in the CBI's charge sheet as an accused, but they were summoned by the special court saying there were "enough material" to proceed against him in the case.
