Former telecom minister A Raja and other 2G accused on Friday sought a stay on the proceedings in the backdrop of the Gauhati High Court ruling terming Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to be an illegal entity.
 
The Gauhati high court held the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) as an unconstitutional organization.
 
The 2G accused termed the continuance of the 2G proceedings in the light of theGauhati High Court judgment as contempt of court.
 
"Before we proceed today I want to mention that the nation today woke up with banner headlines in newspapers that the CBI is not police. By coincidence the chief Investigating Officer happens to be in the court today and in view of the Gauhati High Court judgement we should not proceed with the proceedings otherwise it would be a contempt of court," Majeed Memom, appearing for accused Swan Telecom Promoter Vinod Goenka, told the court.
 
CBI director Ranjit Sinha said that the government will move the SC tomorrow(Saturday) against the judgement declaring CBI unconstitutional.
