Hearing on Case Against Attorney General Regarding Revision of Ravi Lamichhane's Money Laundering Charges Adjourned

The hearing on the writ petition against the Attorney General for amending the charge sheet in the money laundering and organized crime case involving Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) Chairman Rabi Lamichhane has been scheduled for tomorrow under the 'Heard-and-Heard' category after the proceedings could not be completed.

The case, which was scheduled for hearing before the joint bench of Justices Binod Sharma and Abdul Aziz Muslim, was placed for hearing on Tuesday under the 'Heard-and-Heard' category as the hearing could not be concluded.

Attorney General Savita Bhandari, in her 7-page 'Comment and Order' endorsed on Poush 30, had directed the District Government Attorney's Offices to file a case against Lamichhane only for cooperative fraud and drop the other two serious charges.

Although applications were presented in the Kaski and Rupandehi District Courts according to the direction given by the Attorney General Bhandari, the hearing could not take place because the case is sub judice in the Supreme Court.

In accordance with the directive from the Attorney General's Office, the government attorney's offices in Kathmandu and Parsa have not yet filed applications in the District Courts to amend the charge sheet involving Lamichhane and others.
