A Chandigarh court has acquitted former judge Justice Nirmal Yadav and three others in a 2008 corruption case. The verdict, delivered on Saturday, follows a lengthy investigation after cash was mistakenly delivered to another judge. The CBI initially filed a charge sheet in 2011, but all accused were found not guilty.
