New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday recalled its order asking Maran brothers to move Delhi HC against trial court order summoning them as accused in a case related to 2G scam.
The apex court recalled order after the CBI informed there is an SC order that all cases arising out of 2G scam have to be heard by top court.
Earlier in the day, the Supreme Court has asked Dayanidhi Maran & his brother Kalanithi to move Delhi HC against trial court order summoning them as accused in a case related to 2G scam.
On October 29 last year, a special 2G court had summoned Maran brothers and six others, including Malaysian business tycoon T Ananda Krishnan as accused in the Aircel-Maxis deal case.
The Special CBI court had directed them to appear before it on March 2, 2015 after taking cognisance of the charge sheet filed against eight accused including four companies-- Sun Direct TV Pvt Ltd, Maxis Communication Berhad, Astro All Asia Network PLC and South Asia Entertainment Holding Ltd.
The CBI had said in court that Dayanidhi Maran had "pressured" and "forced" Chennai-based telecom promoter C Sivasankaran to sell his stakes in Aircel and two subsidiary firms to Malaysian firm Maxis Group in 2006.
