Rabi Lamichhane's Passport Misuse Writ Filed before Bench of Justices Malla and Niraula

Feb 02, Kathmandu - The case related to misuse of passport by Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) Chairman Rabi Lamichhane has been scheduled to be presented before a joint bench of Supreme Court Justices Sapana Pradhan Malla and Nripadhwaj Niraula.

The final hearing has been scheduled for the writ petition filed on Chaitra 20, 2079 against the then Attorney General's decision not to prosecute the passport misuse case.

Yubaraj Poudel (Safal) had filed a writ petition demanding that a case be filed against Lamichhane for a passport offence. He had filed the writ petition stating that Attorney General Dinmani Pokharel's decision not to file a case against Lamichhane was against the law.

The Supreme Court has previously ordered the file to be called three times in this case. The Supreme Court, which issued a show cause order on Chaitra 22, 2079, ordered the file to be called on Jestha 9, 2080. The court has sought the reason for the decision not to prosecute Rabi Lamichhane in the passport dispute from the Attorney General's Office, and after receiving the decision, a double hearing is scheduled.
