Raja in 2008.<\/p>\n<p>Arguing for the CPIL, counsel Prashant Bhushan told the court that both Chidambaram and Raja knew that the companies being allotted spectrum would use it to earn premium by way of merger and acquisition of these firms.<\/p>\n<p>Bhushan told the court that when this process started taking place, Chidrambram sought to describe it as an infusion of more capital.<\/p>\n<p>The CPIL told the court that department of telecommunications&#8217; (DoT) recommendation to hike the licence fee by 3.5 times too was ignored.<\/p>\n<p>The court asked Bhushan to show that document wherein DoT recommended hiking the prices by 3.5 times.<\/p>\n<p>The judges asked the CBI to submit an updated report on their investigations into 2G scam. The court also wanted to know about the progress made on its probe in other countries including Mauritius and Isle of Man.<\/p>\n<p>Senior counsel K.K.
