(1.) Leave granted.
(2.) In the year 2008, during the tenure of the then Minister of Telecommunications, Unified Access Services Licenses ("UASL") were granted. After sometime, an information was disclosed to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) alleging various forms of irregularities committed in connection with the grant of the said UASL which resulted in huge losses to the public exchequer. On the basis of such source information, the CBI registered a case bearing RC DAI 2009 A 0045 on 21st October, 2009. It is now widely known as "2G Spectrum Scam Case". The case was registered against unknown officers of the Department of Telecommunications (DOT) as well as unknown private persons and companies.
(3.) While the investigation into the said case was still on, a writ petition was filed by an NGO known as Center for Public Interest Litigation (CPIL) before the High Court of Delhi seeking directions for a Court monitored investigation. Apprehension of the petitioner was that without such a monitoring by the Court, there may not be a fair and impartial investigation. Delhi High Court dismissed the petition.
