"The case filed on me (by CBI) was on no grounds. Though this case was politically motivated, I resigned my (Minister) post and stated that I will prove my innocence. I have never abused my powers. The judgement reinforces our faith on judiciary", he said.
"I faced all the troubles over the last six years that were done to meunder the name of investigation. Discharging us from the case is a result of being honest. Truth has won," he said in a statement.
Special CBI judge O P Saini said no prima facie case warranting framing of charges against any of these accused was made out on the basis of materials placed on record.
