Dismissal of plea against Chidambaram a relief: Pranab
"It is a good judgement. It is a relief for the government. Someone was being unnecessarily prosecuted. I welcome the judgement," Mukherjee told reporters during a visit to the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI).
He pointed out that in its judgement the Supreme Court also referred that the then finance minister's (Chidambaram) advice was not listened to. Earlier in the day, a Delhi court dismissed a petition by Janata Party President Subramanian Swamy seeking to make Chidambaram a co-accused in the 2G spectrum case.
