'Sidha Kura' had prepared and broadcasted and published misleading propaganda material about Supreme Court judges, media operators, lawyers. The Supreme Court Deputy Registrar Govinda Ghimire filed a contempt of court case against the court saying that the act had a serious impact on the administration of justice.

After the police investigation confirmed that the audio material prepared by 'Sidha Kura' was misleading and untrue, the District Public Prosecutor's Office has already filed a case against Timalsina, Kandel and Dhungana in the District Court of Kathmandu for three offenses including cyber crime. The court has released all three people on bail. With the verdict of the Supreme Court on Sunday, all three people have to pay the punishment.
