2G spectrum case: Ex-Trai chairman deposes as witness

NEW DELHI: Former Trai chairman Nripendra Mishra on Thursday told a Delhi court, trying the 2G spectrum case, that ex-Telecom Secretary Siddharth Behura, an accused in the case, had written a letter to him in January, 2008, saying the government's action on spectrum issue was "in accordance with the established policy".

Deposing as a prosecution witness, Mishra said the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India had repeatedly conveyed the message to the DoT that in case there was any deviation from recommendations made by TRAI on the issue of allocation of spectrum, the authority should be consulted.
