Some people created a scam by artfully arranging a few selected facts: 2G case judge

This what Judge O P Saini has said in his strongly worded verdict in the 2G scam case:

* The end result of the above discussion is that I have absolutely no hesitation in holding that the prosecution has miserably failed to prove any charge against any of the accused, made in its well-choreographed chargesheet.

*  There is no evidence on the record produced before the court indicating any criminality in the acts allegedly committed by the accused persons.

* The chargesheet of the instant case is based mainly on misreading, selective reading, nonreading and out of context reading of the official record.

* The chargesheet is based on some oral statements made by the witnesses during the investigation,  which the witnesses have not owned up in the witness box.

* I may add that many facts recorded in the chargesheet are factually incorrect like  Finance Secretary strongly recommending revision of entry fee, deletion of a clause of draft LOI by  Sh. A. Raja.

* There is no material on record to show that A Raja was the mother lode of conspiracy in the instant case.  There is also no evidence of his no-holds-barred immersion in any wrongdoing, conspiracy or corruption.

* Some people created a scam by artfully arranging a few selected facts and exaggerating things beyond recognition to astronomical levels.”

* I may also add that for the last about seven years, on all working days, summer vacation included, I religiously sat in the open Court from 10 AM to 5 PM, awaiting for someone with some legally admissible evidence in his possession, but all in vain. Not a single soul turned up. This indicates that everybody was going by public perception created by rumour, gossip and speculation. However, public perception has no place in judicial proceedings.”
