In the case of Suryadarshan Cooperative fraud, the custody hearing against 7 people, including RSVP President Ravi Lamichhane, who are in the custody of the Kaski Police, is continuing in the Kaski District Court.
On Sunday, senior advocate Shambhu Thapa argued on behalf of former director of Gorkha Media Network and former DIG Chabilal Joshi. It is said that the arguments of the lawyer for Lamichhane will start from Monday.
Senior advocate Jagannath Dhakal and Advocate Apoorva Khatiwada argued. On behalf of Leela Pachai, advocate Ganesh Bahadur Bhattarai started the argument on Friday.
On Sunday, after Bhattarai finished his argument, Shambhu Thapa argued on behalf of Joshi. He had argued in the court that the case was filed against Joshi without exceeding the time limit. He said that since Joshi is not a shareholder of Suryadarshan, the responsibility of the cooperative should be taken by the board of directors. "When the first case was registered, it was said that money went to Gorkha Media and Nature Herbs, this is not a fact that has been discovered now," he said, "New charges will come when new facts are discovered."
6 lawyers wrote in advocacy on behalf of Joshi. If the rest of them want to argue, they will be given time on Monday and after Joshi's argument, the arguments of lawyers from Lamichhane's side will begin, informed Rajan Khanal of the court.
Yagyamani Neupane, a lawyer from the Lamichhane side, said that the debate on Joshi's side is over and the debate on the Lamichhane side will start from Monday. On behalf of Lamichhane, senior advocates Sushil Kumar Pant, Raman Shrestha, Hari Subedi, Dr. Narayan Ghimire, Surendra Thapa, advocates Dr. Narayan Kandel, Rohitraj Bastola, Rajendra Bajgai, Subijna Pant and others will argue. After the
, there will be a debate between lawyers from Ram Bahadur Khanal, Meena Gurung, Krishna Bahadur Gurung and Aarti Gurung.
