Govt application in SC 'doesn't seek' to change spectrum auction order

It has not sought permission for administratively allocating spectrum, say sources

The government has not asked the Supreme Court (SC) to amend its 2012 judgment on 2G spectrum allotment, said highly placed sources on Wednesday. 

Its application has also not sought permission for administratively allocating spectrum either, they added.
 

Spectrum will continue to be auctioned for mobile services. Specific sectors cited in the telecom bill will be allocated the spectrum administratively, said the sources. An application filed by the government in the SC on December 12 last year was mentioned in the court on Monday. The application is likely to come up for hearing on Friday or early next-week.
