Swamy to appeal against judgement

New Delhi:
Janata Party chief Subramanian Swamy Saturday said he was surprised
but not disappointed and would appeal against a trial court's
decision to dismiss his plea against Home Minister P. Chidambaram in
the 2G spectrum allocation case.
"I am surprised...but not disappointed because this is part of the
game," Swamy told reporters here minutes after the order of Special
CBI judge O.P. Saini dismissing his plea to make Chidambaram an
accused in the 2G case.
"I will appeal in the high court and if need be I will go to the
Supreme Court," said Swamy.
He said his battle against corruption will continue and he continues
to hold that Chidambaram, a former finance minister, should have
been charged as co-accused in the scandal along with jailed former
telecom minister A. Raja.
"I think this order deserves to be reversed, therefore, I will go to
the high court, and then from the high court to the Supreme Court.
There was an observation earlier that matters can come from the
special court straight to the Supreme Court...that also I will
examine. So I will certainly appeal against it," he added.
"I do not know what the arguments have been, but I had a very, very
strong case. Both Chidambaram and Raja have together made the
decisions.
"Now the question is whether there is criminality or not. How can
Chidambaram be vindicated in one court unless he is vindicated in
all the courts? So that is what is to be done," he said.
Raja is in jail for the last one year for his alleged role in the 2G
spectrum allocation case.
The Supreme Court had Thursday quashed all 122 licences for mobile
phone services issued in 2008 during Raja's tenure and left it to a
trial court to decide on a possible probe into the role of
Chidambaram, who was finance minister at that time.
