Green Punishment: HC directs 2G accused Shahid Balwa, others to plant 3,000 trees each

While hearing the 2G scam case on Thursday February 7, the Delhi High Court punished accused Shahid Usman Balwa and four others to plant 15,000 trees, observing that they have failed to file a response on an ED appeal challenging their acquittal in the 2G case.

Justice Najmi Waziri, while granting a final opportunity to Swan Telecom promoter Balwa, businessman Rajiv Agarwal and three companies — Dynamix Reality Pvt Ltd, DB Reality and Nihar Constructions, asked them to plant 3,000 trees each.

The court said that the trees should be of indigenous variety and they have to take care of them till the monsoon season.

It has also asked former Telecom Minister A Raja’s close aide RK Chandolia to plant 300 trees for not filing a reply to a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) appeal challenging his acquittal.
