Did Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal favour Anil Ambani-led Reliance Communications by helping it save Rs 45 crore (Rs 450 million) earlier this year?

This question was raised by lawyers Prashant Bhushan and Kamini Jaiswal, of the Centre for Public Interest Litigation, before the Supreme Court on Thursday.

According to another CPIL lawyer Pranav Sachdeva: "Our petition is regarding the violation of important conditions of the 2G licences."

This is the first time in the Rs 176,000 crore (Rs 1.76 trillion) 2G spectrum allocation scam that an allegation has been made against a Congress minister's direct involvement in financial matters.
