In a significant verdict, a special CBI court in Chandigarh acquitted former Punjab and Haryana High Court judge Nirmal Yadav in the 2008 cash-at-judge's-door case. The case involved the mistaken delivery of ₹15 lakh to Justice Nirmaljit Kaur's residence, allegedly intended for Justice Yadav as a bribe for a favorable judgment. After 17 years of legal proceedings, the court found insufficient evidence to convict Justice Yadav and other accused parties, including hotelier Ravinder Singh Bhasin and businessman Rajiv Gupta. This landmark judgment concludes one of the longest-running trials involving a sitting judge charged with corruption. (PC: Punjab News)
