Swamy said that he will now move High Court within three months against Special CBI Judge OP Saini's order in the 2G scam.

"I am surprised because my evidence against Chidambaram was complete," Swamy claimed.

2G Case Scam, P. Chidambaram, Must Resign: BJP, The role of Union Home Minister P Chidambaram in the 2G spectrum allocation scam will not be investigated, a Delhi court ruled on Saturday. While dismissing the petition by Janata Party President Subramanian Swamy Special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Judge OP Saini said that no case can be made against Chidambaram in the 2G scam.

Cancelling all 122 2G licences allotted after 2008, the Supreme Court had on February 2, 2012 referred the matter of whether Chidambaram's role should be investigated back to the trial court.

 The Supreme Court, in its verdict on Thursday, said former telecom minister A Raja actually avoided then finance minister P Chidambaram while deciding on the 2G licence allocation. The observations of the top court, technically speaking, should not shape the order of the special CBI court that decides on the role played by Chidambaram in 2G allocation, but it is felt that special judge O P Saini may not be able to ignore them altogether.

Although the Supreme Court bench has given the trial court two weeks to decide the matter, Justice Saini has reserved his order for Saturday on the petition by Swamy seeking to make Chidambaram a co-accused in the case. So, it is possible that the court might decide the matter on Saturday itself.

"The Supreme Court has indicted the Government, and the PM and the Home Minister have no moral right to continue," Naidu said in Vijayawada.

The Supreme Court on Thursday cancelled 122 2G licenses issued during the tenure of former telecom minister A Raja and held that policy of `first-come-first-served' was wrong.

Venkaiah said that the Supreme Court has indicted the Government, and the PM and the Home Minister have no moral right to continue.

Naidu alleged that along with Raja, Chidambaram, then the finance minister, too was responsible for allocation of the spectrum.

He said, in fact, the apex court order condemned the first-come first-served policy of issuing telecom licences issued during the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance regime in 2003.

“The UPA government can't be punished for following the NDA policy. The UPA government did not drop the policy as there was no Supreme Court order against it,” he said.
