2G scam: Trouble for Maran and maxis owner Ananda krishnan, Supreme Court asks CBI to file status report
Manoj Gairola |  |  24 Apr 2014

Maxis promoter T. Ananda Krishnan and former Communications and IT minister Dayanidhi Maran are in trouble. The Supreme Court has directed Central Bureau of Investigations (CBI) and enforcement directorate to file status report on its probe on Aircel-Maxis deal that is part of the 2G scam investigation by May 1.

This is for the first time after constitution of new bench (following superannuation of Justice G S Singhvi) that CBI will be submitting the status report.

Ananda Krishnan and Maran are prime accused in the case.

In June, last year, 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.

                               

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.
