Kathmandu. The writ petition filed against Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) President Rabi Lamichhane on the charge sheet filed against him on the case of organized crime and money laundering is under consideration today.
A division bench of Justices Saranga Subedi and Sunil Kumar Pokharel is conducting the hearing on the case. Earlier, Attorney General Sabita Bhandari had directed the District Government Attorney’s Office to amend the cases related to corporate crime and money laundering against Lamichhane.
Senior advocate Dinesh Tripathi, law student Ayush Badal and Yubaraj Poudel had filed a writ petition against the apex court’s decision. The seven-page ‘comment and order’ endorsed by Attorney General Sabita Bhandari on January 13 had directed the District Government Attorney’s Office to file a case against Lamichhane only for cooperative fraud and to drop two other serious cases.
Though applications have been filed at Kaski and Rupandehi district courts, the hearing of the case is yet to take place as the case is sub-judice at the Supreme Court. However, the Government Attorney Offices of Kathmandu and Parsa have not filed applications at the District Court for amendment of the charge sheet against Lamichhane.
