A bench of Justices G S Singhvi and A K Ganguly also expressed surprise over the difference in the computation of losses by the CBI and CAG in the case.
“We are really surprised over the communication. It was created as an autonomous regulator. It is a serious debatable issue what they have done and stated in recent days,” the court said. The Bench made the observations while hearing the arguments advanced on behalf of the CBI to oppose the application of Janata Party president Subramaniam Swamy for including then Finance Minister P Chidambaram in the 2G probe.
