Legal proceedings


In his capacity as Director of Unitech, Sanjay Chandra was accused as a part of the 2G spectrum case. He is one of the industry leaders convicted of colluding with politicians such as A. Raja, then minister for communications & IT, to lower prices in the 2010 Indian cellular telephone frequency allocation auctions. The Supreme Court of India ruled that A. Raja "wanted to favor some companies at the cost of the public exchequer" and "virtually gifted away the important national asset."
Chandra was arrested in April 2011 and released on bail on 23 November 2011. In July 2013, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) moved the Supreme Court to cancel his bail, alleging that he had attempted to "sabotage the trial." Legal proceedings are ongoing.
There are also several legal proceedings against Unitech by customers and the Haryana Government. The Hon'ble Supreme Court has directed monies paid for a delayed project to be refunded to buyers. Sanjay Chandra was arrested concerning a money laundering case by the Economic Offences Wing of the Delhi Police.
Custodial interrogation of former Unitech promoters Sanjay and Ajay Chandra is needed as "volumes of evidence have been found against them," the Enforcement Directorate told the Supreme Court today. It is necessary to bring the Chandra brothers to Delhi and confront them with the evidence, the agency told the court. The top court will hear the matter again on November 23.
