Mar 17, Kathmandu - The petition challenging the Attorney General's decision to amend charges against Rabi Lamichhane for money laundering and organized crime remains under consideration. Attorney General Sabita Bhandari had ordered the revision of these charges, prompting legal controversy.

Senior lawyers Dinesh Tripathi, Abhas Regmi, and Yuvraj Safal filed a writ petition against the decision, which was heard starting Sunday. The hearing is currently ongoing before a joint bench of Justices Sharanga Subedi and Sunil Kumar Pokhrel, and has been kept in limbo for the day.

The legal dispute arose after Attorney General Bhandari directed the District Public Prosecutor's Office to amend cases filed against Lamichhane in Kathmandu, Kaski, Parsa, and Rupandehi district courts concerning organized crime and asset laundering charges.

The petitioners, including senior lawyer Dinesh Tripathi, law student Ayush Badal, and Yuvraj Poudel of Sindhuli, oppose the Attorney General's decision to revise these charges, citing potential legal violations.
