A Delhi court today listed the application of Janata Party chief Subramanian Swamy, seeking prosecution of Union Home Minister P Chidambaram in the 2G case, for arguments on January 21.

"Put up for arguments on the application for summoning of accused on January 21," Special CBI Judge O P Saini said after Swamy placed on record various certified copies of the documents in support of his private complaint.

Swamy told the court that the documents and evidence which he has furnished reveal the "connivance, collusion and consent" of then Finance Minister in the decision taken by former Telecom Minister A Raja.

"This evidence reveals the connivance, collusion and consent of then Finance Minister P Chidambaram in the decisions taken by the then Minister of Communication and Information Technology (MOC&IT) A Raja in the matter of fixing the price of spectrum licence and in the matter of permitting two companies which received the licences namely Swan and Unitech in dilution of shares even before roll out of their services," Swamy said.

The judge listed Swamy's application for arguments after the Janata Party chief completed his recording of statement before the court.

Swamy filed various documents in the court, including a January 15, 2008 letter written by Chidambaram to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

Swamy also placed on record the certified copy of the minutes of a meeting between Chidambaram, Raja and the Prime Minister during the tenure of Raja as the MOC&IT.
