Alleged unfair issue of 2G spectrum allocation by department of telecommunication has reached in Delhi high court. Petitioner Mr. Arvind Gupata challenged the First Come First Serve policy of government and alleged that telecom ministry is playing in the hands of some real estate majors and infrastructure giants. PIL alleged that government allotted 2G spectrums at throwaway prices causing huge loss to state exchequer.

Mr. Gupata also gave the reference of the court judgment of 1993 when it termed first come first serve policy as unfair and unjustified. He said that department of communication opposed competitive bidding for the benefits of some private reality majors. A Reality Company is given license at very low price without considering prevailing market prices.

The counsels of both parties gave sound arguments before the court. Government asked court not to entertain the PIL as similar matter is also under consideration before the telecom appellate tribunal TDSAT. However, the court tried to know whether any tender of bid procedure was followed or not during spectrum distribution. Finally, a Bench of Chief Justice A. P. Shah and Justice S Muralidhar asked what government meant by 'first come first serve policy' and directed it to file response before 10 December.
