The Supreme Court has issued an order not to implement any decision granting tax exemption to the Dolma Impact Fund.

Hearing a writ petition filed by Bheshraj Luintel, the Supreme Court has issued a short-term interim order not to make any decision regarding tax exemption.

A single bench of Justice Mahesh Sharma Poudel issued such an order in the name of the government on Poush 24. ‘In view of the interim order sought by the petitioner, it seems appropriate to hold discussions with both parties and inform the opposing party of the pleading dated 2072/09/30.’ The order states, ‘Furthermore, if there is any decision to grant tax exemption to Dolma Impact Fund, the decision should not be implemented until the date specified for the discussion of the interim order.’

The Supreme Court has issued an order in the name of the Ministry of Finance, the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers, and the Department of Internal Revenue, among others, not to allow the company to take money abroad without paying taxes.

‘A short-term interim order has been issued pursuant to Rule 49 (2)(b) of the Supreme Court Rules, 2074 BS to prevent the company from taking money abroad without paying tax.’ The order states  ‘Information of the order should be given to the opponents and submitted as per the rules.’ 

Senior advocates Surendra Bhandari and Roshan Kumar Yadav argued on behalf of the petition. In the argument, they claimed that since earning profit in Nepal but taking money abroad without paying tax is illegal, tax should be recovered . 

‘What happened in this ? The order as per the petition's demand should be issued, stating the reasons why the order should not be issued, and the reason for it. The order states that the respondent numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 should submit a written response through the Attorney General's Office within 15 days from the date of receipt of this order, excluding the travel time. The order states that the copy of the order and the writ petition should be sent along with the deadline notice and the meaning thereof should be given to the Attorney General's Office and the written response should be submitted within the deadline or after the deadline has expired, as per the rules.
