Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the allegations of irregularities in the grant of Unified Access Services Licenses (UASL) during 2008, leading to the infamous 2G Spectrum Scam. The Court emphasized the need for a thorough investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the serious irregularities highlighted by the Central Vigilance Commission and the CAG, particularly regarding the loss to the public exchequer. The Court held that the CBI must register a case and conduct a comprehensive investigation into the matter, ensuring accountability for the alleged misconduct.
