A Delhi court today dismissed pleas for a direction to the CBI to make Reliance ADAG chairman Anil Ambani, Tata group Chief Ratan Tata, corporate lobbyist Niira Radia and DMK chief M Karunanidhi's wife Dayalu Ammal, as accused in the 2G spectrum scam.

Special CBI Judge OP Saini also imposed a cost of Rs 10,000 each on Delhi-based scribe M Furquan and Ghaziabad's scrap dealer Dharmender Pandey for filing complaints in this regard.

"The applications are not only devoid of any substance but are also contrary to law and deserve to be dismissed with heavy cost as application after application of this nature are being filed by third parties resulting into loss of precious time of the court.

 

"However, I am inclined to take a little lenient view as far as cost is concerned. Accordingly, both applications are dismissed, subject to nominal cost of Rs 10,000 each," the judge said.

The court also directed both the complainants to deposit the cost within three days from today, failing which warrants shall be issued against them.
