NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday got the tapes of conversations between corporate lobbyist Niira Radia and others relating to the 2G spectrum allocation case.
Government provided the tapes to the apex court in a sealed cover. While placing the recorded conversation before the bench comprising justices G S Singhvi and A K Ganguly, Solicitor General Gopal Subramanium government said that it is a hard disc drive directly downloaded from the server which contains the conversations.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday directed that the original tapes containing the conversation between Radia and others pertaining to the 2G spectrum allocation case be handed over to it.
The direction from the bench had come after the government had submitted that it has no objection in handing over the complete set of tapes in the wake of apprehensions.
However, advocate Prashant Bhushan appearing for the NGO Centre for Public Interest Litigation (CPIL) said though CBI maintains that there were 5,800 conversations, it has prepared the transcript of only 3,000 such conversations.
