India's highest court has postponed until further notice a hearing for telecom tycoon Sunil Bharti Mittal over corruption allegations involving the allotment of telecom airwaves. Mittal, chief of Bharti Airtel, India's biggest mobile operator, was last month for the first time personally dragged into the second-generation (2G) spectrum allocation controversies that have shaken the country in recent years.
But the Supreme Court late Friday said Mittal's hearing on the allegations was being "postponed" until further notice. He was due to appear in court on Monday. At the same time, the court ordered the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to respond to Mittal's challenge of the federal police agency's summoning of him before a special CBI court. Afterwards the Supreme Court said it will consider the arguments. The police agency alleges former Indian telecom secretary Shyamal Ghosh conspired with now-deceased telecom minister Pramod Mahajan to allot extra spectrum in 2002 at below-market prices to companies.
