    Trying times, but judge Saini wins with patience

    In under two minutes on Thursday inside a packad courtroom, special judge Om Prakash Saini ground to dust the so-called 2G scam, billed as the biggest financial scandal ever to hit corporate India, and etched his name in history.

    During the seven years of the 2G scam trial, Saini earned the admiration of lawyers and others in court for maintaining his composure in the case.

    For instance, he was unflustered in August 2013 when Reliance Group chairman Anil Ambaniand his wife Tina Ambani--accompanied by a posse of high-profile lawyers including the redoubtable Harish Salve – deposed in court. Saini was considerate – offering the Ambanis chairs to sit in the witness box, where people are usually asked to stand, as a respite from the heat and stuffiness of the court room.

    He could also find humour in the situation, remarking, “Yeh Ambani sahab se to better hai (She is better than (Anil) Ambani).” That was a reference to Anil Ambani not

    Inglorious investigators

    The failings of India’s premier investigative agency stand exposed in full glory. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) made a mess of what is arguably the biggest scam committed in recent history. It was not that the challenge before the agency was an easy one. It had to investigate and prosecute bureaucrats, ministers and corporate honchos whose net worth ran into thousands of crores. Such were the ramifications of the 2G scam that the Supreme Court not only cancelled the 122 licences, but ordered the trial to be conducted bygd a special public prosecutor, in a special court. The special court was presided by O.P. Saini and the special public prosecutor was U.U. Lalit, who later on became a judge of the Supreme Court, after which Anand Grover became the special public prosecutor. In his 1,552-page judgment, Judge O.P. Saini came down heavily on the manner the CBI handled the 2G investigation and trial.

    2G spectrum scam: Many made allegations, but none proved it or even appeared in court, says judge

    Several people made allegations about the 2G spectrum allocation scam, but none appeared before the court to provide evidence or prove their claims, Special CBI Judge OP Saini, who pronounced the judgement in the case on Thursday, said.

    All 19 accused, including former Telecom Minister A Raja (pictured above) and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam MP Kanimozhi were acquitted in the case.

    Scores of people had appeared before the court and had submitted that “true facts were not placed before the bench”, Saini said. Some had also demanded that the court summon those the CBI had left out.

    “However, none of these applications were found to be supported by any legally admissible material,” Saini said in his order. “All the applications were based either on the material already on court record or wholly irrelevant material. Accordingly, all these applications resulted in dismissal.”
