Court proceedings began in April 2011 after CBI filed chargesheet against five accused, including Justice Nirmal Yadav. All were acquitted on 29 March this year.
In 2008, Rs 15 lakh was accidentally delivered to the home of Justice Nirmaljit Kaur instead of its alleged intended recipient, Justice Yadav. The court acquitted all accused last week.
Now retired, Nirmal Yadav was sitting judge of Punjab and Haryana High Court at the time. Verdict comes at a time when the spotlight is on the Justice Yashwant Varma controversy.

We now live in a world order that will keep shifting. India must use this window. This also means we remain disciplined enough not to be knee-jerked into reacting to what Pakistan sees as its moment in the sun.
