Radia and professional? Profession is something honourable: SC

For the Supreme Court, the Niira Radia tapes reveals a pollution simply termed as “mind-boggling”.

“We have been talking about the pollution of sacred rivers like the Ganges. This kind of pollution is not there. This pollution is quite mind-boggling, we do not live in a world of illusions anymore. The real world is in some villages and forests. Let us not talk about that,” a Bench of Justices G S Singhvi and A K Ganguly said.

The two-judge Bench has been hearing the 2G spectrum case hearing for almost a month, and was hearing arguments about how one of the published conversations of Radia was about “managing” a former Delhi High Court judge for Rs 9 crore.

Advocate Prashant Bhushan read out the published transcript of the taped conversation in which it is conveyed that a high court judge scheduled to pronounce a judgment next month and has already received Rs 9 crore.
