Giving him a clean chit, Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram had said the Central Bureau of Investigation had concluded the case and Abdullah's name 'does not figure in the list of the 17 accused chargesheeted'.

'There was never any truth in the allegations levelled against Omar Abdullah. (PDP leader) Muzaffar Hussain Baig is in the habit of levelling allegations against political rivals and then withdrawing them,' said Forests Minister Mian Altaf Ahmad, who is a senior National Conference leader.

Abdullah is expected to attend his office Friday.

'It will be business as usual for Omar from tomorrow,' a close aide of the chief minister said.
