Raja to boycott trial till CBI completes probe: Counsel

Friday, September 30, 2011: Jailed former communications minister A. Raja, the prime accused in the 2G spectrum case, contended on Friday in a special court here that he will participate in the trial only when the CBI clearly explains whether it has completed its investigation against him.
Raja’s lawyer Sushil Kumar has refused to file a reply to charges of criminal breach of public trust while asking the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) if the probe against him in the scam has been completed or not.
Raja’s counsel told CBI Special Judge O.P. Saini that “till the agency declares that the investigation is closed, I will not argue before this court. I will participate in this trial only once the probe is over”.
The probe agency Sep 26 approached the court to frame fresh charges against the 17 accused, including Raja.
