2G scam: HC allows CBI, ED pleas to conduct early hearing on appeals

Justice Brijesh Sethi, pronouncing the order, said the matter will be heard on day-to-day basis from October 5 at 2:30 PM.

The court said it will first hear arguments on leave to appeal’ in the CBI case in which Raja and others were acquitted.
