Considering the magnitude of the 2G spectrum scam and the higher-ups involved in it, the Supreme Court on Thursday asked the Centre to consider setting up a special court to try the case expeditiously.

A Bench of Justices G.S. Singhvi and A.K. Ganguly, after perusing the status reports submitted by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate, made it clear that the CBI should go after the beneficiaries of the 2G spectrum scam if there was prima facie evidence of their role and involvement.

The status reports explained the four arrests so far made by the CBI, including that of the former Communications Minister A. Raja, the money trail of the beneficiaries of the spectrum licences and the role of corporate houses.
