Kaski District Court Orders Against Immediate Withdrawal of Organized Crime Case Against Rabi Lamichhane

Kathmandu. The Kaski District Court has ordered that the organized crime and money laundering case against Rabi Lamichhane will not be withdrawn immediately.

On Monday, the bench of Judge Nitish Rai of the Kaski District Court, while hearing the application submitted by the government attorney's office for the amendment of the case involving Rabi Lamichhane and others, ordered that the case cannot be withdrawn immediately because a writ petition has also been filed in the Supreme Court regarding the decision of the Attorney General's Office.

The court ordered that a decision will be made only after the order from the Supreme Court is presented to the District Court. Previously, the Rupandehi court had also decided not to immediately withdraw the organized crime and money laundering case against Rabi.

The Attorney General's Office had decided to withdraw the organized crime and money laundering case against Rabi.

Following the decision of the Attorney General's Office, the Kaski District Government Attorney's Office had filed an application in court seeking to withdraw the organized crime and money laundering case.

Attorney General Savita Bhandari had decided on Poush 30 (Bikram Sambat) to withdraw the organized crime and money laundering case in which Lamichhane was an accused.

Cases related to cooperative fraud, organized crime, and money laundering were filed against Lamichhane in Rupandehi as well as Kaski, Kathmandu, and Chitwan District Courts.
