Justice Kumararatnam agreed with the three High Court assessors unanimous decision of not guilty.
Outside the Court house Mau said he is delighted of the outcome today and believes that justice has prevailed.
Mau was charged with one count of Abuse of Office while Pratap faced one count of Extortion.
