Supreme Court Hearing Continues on Plea Against Withdrawal of Organized Crime and Money Laundering Charges Against Rabi Lamichhane

The hearing on the writ petition challenging the withdrawal of the organized crime and money laundering charges filed against Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) Chairman Rabi Lamichhane, alongside the cooperative fraud case, is set to continue today after the arguments could not be concluded on Tuesday.

The writ petition has been under continuous hearing since Monday before the bench of Supreme Court Justices Binod Sharma and Abdul Aziz Muslim.

Attorney General Savita Bhandari had directed the District Government Attorney's Office to amend the cooperative fraud, organized crime, and money laundering cases pending in various districts against Lamichhane.

Senior Advocate Dinesh Tripathi, law students Ayush Badal, and Yuvraj Paudel filed the writ petition against the decision of the Attorney General's Office. The seven-page 'Comment and Order' endorsed by Attorney General Bhandari on Poush 30 directed the District Government Attorney's Offices to proceed only with the cooperative fraud case against Lamichhane and drop the other two serious charges.
