	An acquittal and some questions
		Both Narasimha Rao and Buta Singh were sentenced to three years' rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs.2 lakhs each under Section 12 of the Prevention of Corruption Act and Section 120-B of the Indian Penal Code.
		However, while dealing with the case of Buta Singh and Narasimha Rao, the trial court has found corroboration which was common to all the accused." At best this would have been a valid reason why the acquittal of the co-accused by the trial court should have been reversed.
		Justice Sodhi interpreted this to mean that a meeting had taken place between Buta Singh and Mandal in the absence of the Prime Minister, and that that meeting was "obviously" not held at the house of the Prime Minister.
