A Malaysian company which is working in Indian Networking since decade, Aircel’s 2 G spectrum licence has been in danger. The Supreme Court proposed to cancel the licence of Aircel 2 G spectrum in the running case of Aircel-Maxis in which Anant Krishnan is charged and a warrant was declared against him. The Supreme Court issued a warrant against him in which he is bounded to present in the court and if he will not come then court will cancel the Aircel’s 2 G spectrum.
A bench headed by the Chief Justice of India J. S. Khehar said Krishnan and Marshal would not allowed to frustrate the due course of law by avoiding to appear before the court and also restrained the transfer of 2 G spectrum originally granted to Aircel to any other entity.
Significantly Anant Krishnan is a partner of a company named as Aircel which provide network in India whereas Ralph Marshal and a Malaysian company are another partner. The Supreme Court proposed to cancel the licence of Aircel 2 G after Anant Krishnan and his one-time key aide Augustus Ralph Marshal avoided to appear in the court.
The court said, the Ministry of Information and Technology would devise and means by which the 2 G licence originally granted to Aircel could be provisionally transferred to any other service provider, so that subscribers might not suffer any adverse consequences.
The Supreme Court made it clear to Krishnan and Marshal that they would not be permitted to raise any issue of financial loss, that they might suffer on account of the proposed cancellation of the 2 G licence and spectrum granted to Aircel in November 2006. The court adjusted the next hearing on the matter on February 3.
