The Delhi High Court today issued a notice to former Telecom Minister A Raja, DMK MP Kanimozhi and others on the Enforcement Directorate, ED's plea challenging their acquittal in a money laundering case arising out of the 2G spectrum allocation scam.

Justice SP Garg issued another notice to them on a CBI plea challenging the special court order acquitting them in the case. The High Court also said, status quo would be maintained with regard to properties attached by the ED in the Prevention of Money Laundering Act case.

The special court had, in December last year, acquitted Raja, Kanimozhi and others in the cases registered by the CBI and the ED. The CBI had alleged that there was a loss of around 31,000 crore rupees to the exchequer in allocation of licences for 2G spectrum which were scrapped by the Supreme Court in February, 2012. #casansaar (Source - NewsOnAir)
