Even on Friday, the supplementary case could not be registered as the original file of the original case registered in Rupandehi District Court related to Supreme Cooperative Fraud was not in the court. The District Public Prosecutor's Office had prepared for Thursday itself to register additional prosecutions and supplementary cases. Due to lack of time, the supplementary prosecution file could not be reached on Thursday.
Gurkha Media Network President Geetendra Babu (GB) Rai and 17 people have been charged with additional offenses and additional charges have been filed on Thursday. Even though Ruppandehi reached the district court, it is stuck in the state of ``preparing'' till Friday.
The court is reluctant to take the supplementary prosecution file from the public prosecutor's office to prosecute 14 people including the then managing director of Gorkha Media Ravi Lamichhane, vice president of Gorkha Media Network Pvt. Since the original case file was not found, the supplementary prosecution case could not be registered even on Friday.
District Public Prosecutor's Office Rupandehi filed a case against 28 people including GB Rai, Supreme's current president Omprakash Gurung, cooperative manager Sagar KC, and Kumar Ramtel on 3rd Baisakh 2081, accusing only of cooperative fraud. In that, only 1.3 billion was requested from 28 people. In the first case, Lamichhane was out of the investigation because he was the Home Minister. Along with him, the former DIG was also not involved in the case.
After Lamichhane resigned as Home Minister, on October 5, 44 savers of Supreme Cooperative filed a complaint with the police. On the basis of the said complaint, the police investigated and now the public prosecutor's office has prepared a file demanding that 14 people including Lamichhane and Joshi should be prosecuted and prosecuted as they are involved in the embezzlement of Supreme Cooperative's funds. However, due to the lack of a complete file of the initial case, additional prosecution could not be registered.
District Attorney Premraj Paudel of the Public Prosecutor's Office said that the process of filing the additional prosecution in the court is underway and that the supplementary prosecution will be registered as soon as it is completed. He said, "We are also ready to file a supplementary prosecution, but one cannot be filed as the other cannot be filed." . "We are hoping that it will be registered on Sunday," he said.
According to district court sources, Lamichhane was the home minister when the case was registered on 3 May 2081. The public prosecutor's office did not prosecute the case as there was no complaint against him. However, the then Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal and the Chief Attorney brought the file to Kathmandu saying that a writ had been filed in the Supreme Court and for its study. Sources claim that there is a delay in the registration of the case as the file has not been returned yet.
'There was talk of a file coming from Kathmandu on Friday but it did not arrive,' the source said The source said. Sources claim that since the current supplementary prosecution is an 'integral part' of the original case, it will be a problem to file the supplementary case without the file of the original case. According to
sources, the paper that Lamichhane was innocent was obtained from the District Public Prosecutor's Office under the force of the then government. According to court sources, there is a delay in the registration of the case because the entire file was not returned to Kathmandu under the instructions of the then Home Minister Lamichhane, Attorney General and Prime Minister Dahal.
District Court Srestedar Yagyamurthy Gyawali said that there is no reason to stop the registration of the case as there is no complete file of the original case and only the file of additional charges is being filed in the court. "We sent the initial case file as requested by the Supreme Court, it is coming by post," he said told He said that no file related to supplementary prosecution has come to the office. "What to say about the file that did not come to the office?," he said.
On Thursday, the police registered a cooperative fraud and organized crime case against 17 people in the initial case. Now 27 lakh bigos have been added to the organized crime offense against 17 people. In the supplementary charge sheet, Lamichhane and Joshi have been asked to pay Rs 84.2 million only. The Public Prosecutor's Office has prepared a supplementary prosecution with a demand of 1 billion 120 million bigos with both additional and supplementary charges.
Research has shown that 10,391 savers of Supreme Cooperative have embezzled 1.31 billion.
