Supreme Court to Hear Habeas Corpus Petitions for Former Minister Khadka and MP Sharma
Kathmandu. The habeas corpus petitions filed by former minister and Congress leader Deepak Khadka and UML Lumbini Province MP Rekha Sharma have been scheduled for a hearing before the bench of Supreme Court Justice Shrikanta Paudel.
The petitions were filed by Binita Khadka, wife of former minister Khadka, and Chintamani Sharma on behalf of Rekha Sharma. Former minister Khadka was arrested on Sunday for investigation into money laundering.
UML Lumbini Province MP Sharma is accused of committing crimes against children by employing a minor as a domestic worker. A few years ago, the Kathmandu Metropolitan City had rescued a girl from her residence.
Regarding that girl, then-Kathmandu Metropolitan City Mayor Balendra Shah wrote on his Facebook wall on 29 Magh 2081, 'Sorry Nanu! The government has ensured that no case will be filed against your abusers. Do not worry. The time will come.'
He further stated, 'You and many children like you must study to eliminate such discrimination and crimes, and to bring those perpetrators to justice. You must understand society.'
