KATHMANDU: The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear the writ petition filed against Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) President Rabi Lamichhane on Wednesday.
Earlier, the hearing which was scheduled to be held on Tuesday could not take place as Supreme Court (SC) Justice Anil Kumar Sinha could not hear the petition, according to SC’s Spokesperson Bimal Poudel.
Advocate Yubaraj Poudel had filed the writ petition against Lamichhane on Tuesday, stating that he was exempted from punishment for misusing the passport, demanding that the decision taken by Attorney General Dr Dinmani Pokharel on Rabi’s case be overturned by the order.
The writ petition was registered at the SC against the decision of the Attorney General not to pursue the case related to misuse of the passport by Lamichhane.
Attorney General Pokharel had decided not to file a case against Lamichhane for the misuse of passport based on the report from the High Attorney Office through the District Attorney Office.
