Former Supreme Court judge Ashok Kumar Ganguly says former telecom minister A Raja acted unilaterally in the 2G spectrum mess and that his Cabinet colleagues are not to be blamed. Speaking to Karan Thapar on CNN IBN&rsquo;s Devil&rsquo;s Advocate, Ganguly said it&rsquo;s not correct to apply the principle of collective Cabinet responsibility in the case relating to the distribution of 2G licences on a first-come-first-served basis. He refused to take the onus for the delays, saying these were reserved by Justice G S Singhvi who had to take the call as a senior judge of the bench. However, Ganguly, who demitted office after delivering the judgments on the grant of sanction for prosecution of former telecom minister A Raja and cancellation of 122 licences, said the delay was &ldquo;not intentional&rdquo; as judges worked under &ldquo;tremendous pressure&rdquo;.
