CHANDIGARH: A special CBI court here acquitted former Punjab and Haryana high court judge Nirmal Yadav and three others on Saturday in the 17-year-old high-profile cash-at-judge’s-door case.
Yadav, sitting in her car in the parking of the court complex due to a fractured leg, said she had full faith in the judiciary as the verdict came. Vishal Garg Narwana, the defence lawyer, asserted that the court decision proved that the former judge was innocent and there was no proof against her in the case. “Truth has prevailed,” he said. A copy of the judgment is awaited.
The case emerged in 2008 when a bag with Rs 15 lakh mistakenly ended up at the Chandigarh residence of another judge, Nirmaljit Kaur. She called the police. The probe revealed the money was allegedly intended for Justice Yadav “to influence a decision related to a property deal”. The name of Haryana’s then additional advocate general Sanjeev Bansal also surfaced in the case.
