Sukhram's conviction in 1996 telecom scam upheld, dismissing Sukhram's appeal against his conviction, a bench of justices S Ravindra Bhat and G P Mittal also upheld the conviction of ex-deputy Director-General of the Department of Telecom (DoT) Runu Ghosh and Hyderabad-based Advanced Radio Masts (ARM) Managing Director P Rama Rao.

The 1996 telecom scam involved award of a contract to a Hyderabad firm for supplying telecom equipment to government at exorbitant rates.

The court ordered all three to surrender forthwith before the trial court to serve the sentence.


In its 120-page judgement, the bench, however, acquitted Sukhram of the charge of conspiracy in giving the equipment- supply contract to ARM.

It, however, upheld the conviction of Ghosh and Rao on charges of conspiracy.
