Centre asked to respond to PIL plea on alleged 3G misuse
The Delhi High Court on Wednesday directed Additional Solicitor-General A.S. Chandhiok to take instructions from the Union government to respond to a public interest litigation petition seeking judicial intervention for an inquiry into an allegation that certain private cellular operators provided 3G mobile services even in circles where they did not have a licence.
The petitioner, Supreme Court lawyer Yakesh Anand, said private mobile operators had created a cartel and were providing 3G mobile services without licences by entering into arrangements among themselves to share the 3G spectrum.
The petitioner has particularly mentioned top cellular companies like Bharti Airtel, Idea Cellullar and Vodafone.
The petitioner said the three together had caused a loss of Rs.20,000 crore to the exchequer by illegally using the spectrum of other licence-holders.
