1. The Supreme Court ruled on a case challenging the process used to grant licenses for mobile phone spectrum. 2. The minister of communications had changed the application cutoff date and approved licenses without a transparent bidding process, ignoring recommendations to auction licenses. 3. The court held that the minister's actions were arbitrary and violated the constitutionally guaranteed principles of equality and rule of law. Changing dates and bypassing proper procedure to benefit certain applicants showed misuse of power. 4. The state must manage public resources like spectrum in a manner that benefits citizens, not arbitrarily, and the license approval process was ruled unconstitutional.
