A special CBI court Thursday Dec 07.2011 allowed Janata Party Chief Subramanian Swamy to recall himself as a witness to prove Home Minister P. Chidambaram's alleged complicity in the 2G spectrum case.
(Earlier Swamy had sought to make Chidambaram - a former finance minister - a party in the case, saying the decision on spectrum pricing was taken jointly by him and former communications minister A. Raja)
While allowing Swamy's plea to be recalled as a witness in the scam, CBI Special judge O.P. Saini observed: "In view of the fact that the complainant was not aware of the identity of additional proposed accused at the time of filing the complaint, but has now come to know about it, he is not prevented in law for leading evidence on this point, more so, when he has referred to the role of other conspirators in his complaint."
The court asked Swamy to get himself examined and record his statement Dec 17,2011.On December 17, Mr Swamy will also explain to the court why he needs to examine two witnesses in connection with his complaint seeking that Mr Chidambaram be made a co-accused in the case -
1)HC Awasthi, a Joint Director with the CBI and
2)Sindhushree Khullar, who has served as Joint Secretary in the Finance Ministry.
