The Centre has taken a significant step by moving the Supreme Court, seeking a modification of its 2012 verdict in the 2G spectrum case. This move comes more than 12 years after the initial ruling. In 2012, the Supreme Court invalidated the 2G spectrum licences issued during the tenure of A Raja as the telecom minister in 2008.

The Delhi High Court's recent decision to admit the Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) appeal against the acquittal of several key figures in the 2G spectrum allocation case has reignited one of India's most significant legal sagas in recent memory.

The high court passed the judgement on CBI’s “leave to appeal”, paving the way for dealing with the appeal on merits against the trial court’s verdict.
