CBI on Wednesday informed the Supreme Court that it has completed investigations in the 2G scam case involving Dayanidhi Maran and Ananda Krishnan.
 
Next week, it will seek the government’s sanction for prosecution of the accused. It means that the CBI will file chargesheet against Ananda Krishnan and Maran.
 
Though CBI maintained that Malaysian authority is not cooperating with it in the Aircel-Maxis deal, it said that it would continue further probe on the basis of the material and Aircel-Maxis deal.
 
A bench of justices G S Singhvi and K S Radhakrishnan said that this matter must be brought to an end to a logical conclusion, exhorting the CBI that more than a year has already passed after registering the case. The bench has posted the case for hearing onAugust 1.
 
It may be recalled that in November 2012 in its stinging remark, the Supreme Court had said that the CBI investigation into Aircel-Maxis deal suggested that a certain nexus is responsible for delay in the probe. The alleged deal involves former telecom minister Dayanidhi Maran and a Malaysian business tycoon T Ananda Krishnan.
 
Maran has been accused of "forcing" Chennai-based telecom promoter C Sivasankaran to sell the stake in Aircel to Malaysian firm Maxis Group, owned by Kuala Lumpur-based T Ananda Krishnan, in 2006.
 
Earlier in December 2011, the NGO Centre for Public Interest Litigation (CPIL) had moved the apex taking swipe at the CBI for slowing down the probe on the alleged "corruption and misuse of official position" by former telecom minister Dayanidhi Maran in the case.
