The Joint Parliament Committee is believed to have decided to stay away from intervening in TRAI recommendations on 2G spectrum auction pricing by asking the government to put on hold any decision till it “forms an opinion on this, according to Economic Times”.

Some of committee’s members are in favor of asking the government to put on hold decisions on contentious issues like reserve price on spectrum as proposed by TRAI.

According to ET, JPC chairman P C Chacko is learnt to have told members that he is not mandated to ask the government to put on hold any decision on the Trai recommendations on 2G auction pricing.

The JPC members are of the view that the former TRAI chairman JS Sarma should be questioned on justification on 10 fold increase in base price for spectrum auction.
