Spectrum Not Disposed Off As They Are Not Property : Balwa

New Delhi, Oct 10: Swan Telecom promoter Shahid Usman Balwa today told a Delhi court that all 17 accused cannot be charged for the offence of criminal breach of trust in 2G scam case as spectrum was not “property” which have illegally been disposed off by them.

“Spectrum was just a medium of communication. It is not a property. It remains in the air. It is not like a mineral which I (Balwa) will extract and will become its owner. It is not my property,” senior advocate Vikas Singh, appearing for Balwa, told Special CBI Judge O P Saini.

CBI has sought framing of additional charges under section 409 (criminal breach of trust) of the IPC against former Telecom Minister A Raja and others. If convicted, they may face life imprisonment as maximum punishment.
