New Delhi: A Delhi court, hearing the 2G spectrum allocation case, on Monday rejected a CBI plea to declare a prosecution witness hostile as he allegedly resoled from one of his statements given to the agency during investigation.
The agency alleged Vardharajan Srinivasan, a former Reliance Communication Ltd official, did not stand by his earlier statement that Hari Nair, a 2G case accused, had instructed him and one of his superiors to submit an account opening form of Swan Telecom Pvt Ltd to HDFC Bank.
Srinivasan, however, is now claiming he never met or spoke to Hari Nair, the agency said.
"At one place in your examination-in-chief, you have stated that a letter was signed by us, that is, Anand Subramanium and yourself, on the instruction of Hari Nair and in the cross examination for Hari Nair, you have stated that you never met with and spoke to Nair before signing the letter," the prosecutor asked the witness.
Reliance ADA Group senior Vice President Hari Nair, along with two other top officials of the group, Gautam Doshi and Surendra Pipara, is facing trial for their alleged roles in the 2G spectrum allocation case. They, however, have denied all the charges levelled against them.
