Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to conduct a thorough investigation into the 2G Spectrum Scam, emphasizing the need for independence from state influence and the necessity to probe serious irregularities in the grant of licenses from 2001 to 2006-2007. The Court mandated that the CBI register a case if not already done and investigate the roles of various stakeholders, including the Department of Telecommunications and financial institutions. The Court also ordered cooperation between the CBI and the Directorate of Enforcement to ensure a comprehensive investigation into the alleged corruption and financial misconduct.
