Former High Court Judge Nirmal Yadav Acquitted in 2008 Corruption Case

After a 17-year trial, a special CBI court in Chandigarh acquitted former Punjab and Haryana High Court judge, Justice Nirmal Yadav, and three others in the 2008 'cash-at-judge's-door' case.

The case originated when a bag containing ₹15 lakh was mistakenly delivered to Justice Nirmaljit Kaur's residence, allegedly intended for Justice Yadav.

The court ruled that the prosecution failed to prove the charges, leading to the acquittal of all accused.
