Why should the Prime Minister not be prosecuted for not implementing the judgment given by the Supreme Court regarding the land of Giribandhu Tea Estate? He demanded an answer.
The Supreme Court has asked the office of the Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers to submit a written reply within 7 days.
The bench of Justices Sharanga Subedi and Nityanand Pandey has demanded a written reply from the government on the contempt petition filed by advocate Omprakash Aryal stating that the decision of the case related to the land of Giribandhu Tea Estate has not been implemented. The bench has also ordered to throw out the entire case related to Giribandhu Tea Estate.
The court said in the writ petition filed by Aryal demanding action for contempt, 'What happened in this ? According to the request of the petitioner, why should the contempt of court not be prosecuted? If there is a legal basis for not taking action, a written response will be submitted through the Attorney General's office within 7 days from the date of receipt of this order, including the legal basis. In the
writ petition, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and Land Management, Cooperatives and Poverty Alleviation Minister Balram Adhikari have been demanded to be prosecuted for contempt of court.
The then government under the leadership of KP Sharma Oli had decided on 13 Baisakh 2078 to exchange more than 343 ropanis of land of Giribandhu T-Estate in Birtamod, Jhapa and use it for commercial purposes . Advocate Omprakash Aryal filed a petition in the Supreme Court calling the decision political corruption. In which the Supreme Court on January 24, 2080 annulled the government's decision as illegal. By publishing the full text of the verdict on May 28, the Supreme Court gave a historical interpretation with strict conditions even in the case of other lands related to demarcation.
"In the case of granting the limitation exemption, the land that has been used for a different purpose without being used or used for the purpose as mentioned or the land has been kept empty (barren) and the land found to be more than that limit shall be immediately and compulsorily acquired/made available in the name of the Government of Nepal," said the judgment. Advocate Aryal has filed a contempt case in the Supreme Court for not implementing this decision.
