Rejecting her plea, an apex court bench headed by Justice H.L. Dattu said the matter relates to 2008 and there had been several rounds of litigation.

In the absence of evidence she would get acquitted, Justice Dattu observed as her counsel S.K. Garg Narwana told the court that there was nothing incriminating against her.

In 2008, a bag containing Rs.15 lakh were delivered at the residence of Nirmaljit Kaur, another judge of the high court, but it transpired the moeny was meant to be delivered to Nirmal Yadav.

Yadav moved the apex court after the high court dismissed her plea against the framing of charges.
