KATHMANDU: The Special Court has acquitted 14 individuals, including Mayor Gajendra Maharjan and Deputy Mayor Muna Adhikari of Godawari Municipality, in a corruption case.

The Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) had previously charged these individuals with corruption related to the extraction, distribution, and sale of sand and stone.

The case involved eight employees, seven mine operators, and seven companies.

The CIAA accused the defendants and companies of failing to properly collect revenue and value-added tax.

However, the court’s bench, consisting of Chairman Tek Narayan Kuwar and members Tej Narayan Singh Rai and Ritendra Thapa, delivered the verdict, clearing all 14 individuals of the charges.
