Judge commented
Government lawyer Rupendra Parihar said that the judge while commenting said that the relationship between student and teacher is very sensitive. Teacher who is a Guru, who is given a status above God. Parents send their children to school with great confidence. So that their child can learn good values ​​from his teacher, the accused has tarnished the sacred relationship of such teacher-disciple.
The trust of the parents has been broken, if a lenient approach is adopted, it will send a wrong message and the families will start hesitating to send their daughters to the temple of education.
