Govt to hand over privileged documents to JPC

NEW DELHI: The government, which has been claiming privilege on notes exchanged by its various arms on the 2G allocation, has decided to hand over these documents to the JPC probing the scandal.

At a meeting convened by PM’s principal secretary Pulok Chatterjee, A-G GE Vahanvati advised the government to share these documents with the JPC.

Although the decision has the potential of bringing many controversial documents in the public domain, a directive of the special court may have vindicated the A-G’s line.
