Panjim: The President of Children’s Court Vandana Tendulkar acquitted Mutaya Swami Tevar and his wife JankiTevar of charges of having employed a minor girl to do domestic work at their house and had kept the girl who is not related to them in their house without the necessary permission from the Director.
The order pronounced on November 15 pointed out the discrepancies in the testimony of the alleged abused child and also the failure of the prosecution to examine the child’s grandmother and brother whom she had referred to her deposition.
The testimony of the member of Jan Ugahi who had lodged the complaint with the police was not relied upon by the president as she had no record to prove.
