Former UPA Telecom Minister Raja, DMK Rajya Sabha MP Kanimozhi and 15 others were acquitted of charges, on 21 December, in the 2G spectrum case.

Judge OP Saini had read out a single-line verdict – “all acquitted of all charges”.

The judgement said investigators "miserably failed" to prove that Raja, along with officials from companies that won the licenses for telecom services, had conspired to receive kickbacks from the sale of phone permits, causing a loss of Rs. 1.76 lakh crore to the public exchequer.

The trial in the case had begun in 2011, a year after the national auditor CAG reported about massive irregularities in the allocation of 2G licences during A Raja’s tenure as the telecom minister.
