New Delhi, Nov 23: Former Telecom Minister Sukh Ram today moved the Delhi High Court challenging his conviction and sentencing by a trial court for taking Rs 3 lakh as bribe to award a lucrative contract to a telecom firm in 1996.
86-year-old Sukh Ram, who had held the Telecom portfolio in P V Narasimha Rao’s cabinet, was convicted last Thursday in a cable contract case. He was handed out five years jail term by Special CBI judge R P Pandey on Saturday and sent to jail.
A petition on behalf of Sukh Ram against his conviction and sentencing was filed in the high court’s registry, said registry sources.
Sukh Ram had earlier also been convicted in two separate corruption cases in 2002 and 2009 but remained out of jail.
