It is action time again.
More than three months after the Supreme Court cancelled 122 licences issued in 2008, the doors seem to be opening for the prime accused in the 2G spectrum qallocation case.
After being in Tihar Jail for over a year in the 2G spectrum case, former telecom secretary Siddharth Behura was granted bail today. Immediately after the court granted bail to Behura, his boss and former telecom minister Andimuthu Raja who has been in jail for the past 15 months moved a bail application. Raja is the prime accused in 2G spectrum allocation case. His plea will be heard on Friday, 11 May.

Raja is the prime accused in 2G spectrum allocation case. His plea will be heard on Friday, 11 May.
With Behura getting released, Raja is the only one still in jail. He was charged with conspiracy, cheating, criminal misconduct and abusing an official position in the allocation of 2G spectrum licences which were believed to be rigged.
Raja said he should be granted bail as he is unable to put his case before the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament and the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) which is looking into the various aspects of the issue.
The interesting days are just about to start.
