Special Judge B L Soni, who had reserved the orders on September after arguments, announced his order this evening.

The prosecution had alleged that Singh was influencing the witnesses and it had enough evidence against the couple.

The court had framed charges against Singh and his wife, a former Lok Sabha member, on June 25 last, after which Singh resigned as Union Minister of Small, Micro and Medium enterprises the next day.

He withdrew the petition filed by him in the High Court for quashing the FIR or handing over the investigations to CBI.

He appeared in the case on September 7 last and regular hearing of the case started.

The court has already fixed September 21 as next date of hearing.
