An application has been moved in a Delhi court seeking to make Reliance Telecom chief Anil Ambani and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi's wife Dayalu Ammal as accused in 2G spectrum scam case.

The application filed by a Delhi based journalist M Furquan alleged CBI was choosing the persons selectively for chargesheeting in the scam.

Special CBI Judge O P Saini, who is hearing the 2G case, posted the matter for hearing on May 24 when he will hear an application filed by a Ghaziabad-based scrap dealer Dharmender Panday seeking further probe into the role of Tata chief Ratan Tata and corporate lobbyist Niira Radia in the scam.

In the application, the journalist submitted "Anil Dhirubhai Ambani is not made an accused in the case and this shows a serious omission on the part of CBI. By letting off main accused, CBI has committed a serious miscarriage of justice."

He further said in his application that ADAG Group Managing Director Gautam Doshi, senior Vice Presidents of Reliance Telecom company Surrendra Pipara and Hari Nair, who are currently lodged in Tihar jail for their alleged role in the scam, are ordinary employees in company and the offences which have been committed involves thousands of crores of rupees.
