New Delhi: Janata Party leader Subramanian Swamy is likely to produce documentary evidence against current Home Minister P Chidambaram in the 2G scam.
Swamy claims that Chidambaram, during his tenure as Finance Minister, had conspired with the then Telecom Minister A Raja to dole out 2G licenses to Swan telecom and Unitech.
Swamy, in an application to a Delhi court last year, had said, "The fact that the above named two ministers (Raja and Chidambaram) together decided that the prices of spectrum and entry fee should be lumped together at the 2001 level and decided against the market price of 2007-08 period for the entry fee, is confirmed by the speech of the Prime Minister in Rajya Sabha on February 24, 2011."
The court on December 8 allowed Swamy to testify in support of his private complaint, seeking prosecution of Chidambaram in the case.
The court said Swamy "was not prevented in law" from bringing fresh evidence about the roles of "other conspirators" in the scam.
Special CBI Judge OP Saini allowed the plea of Swamy that in view of his knowledge of "fresh evidence" on identity of other conspirators, he be allowed to depose again in the case.
