SC to give its opinion on 2G Presidential reference

New Delhi: The Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court is slated to give its opinion on the Presidential reference in the 2G spectrum allocation case on Thursday.

The government is seeking a clarification on which resources need to be auctioned and which can be allotted on a first-come-first-serve basis.

The government wants to know whether it is mandatory to distribute all natural resources only through a public auction as directed in the apex court's February 2 ruling or it can choose any other method such as the first-come-first-served for their allocation.

The apex court had clarified that its opinions would not undo the 2G decision in any way.
