The Butwal Bench of the High Court Tulsipur has ordered that Ravi Lamichhane, Chairman of the Supreme Cooperative of Butwal, be sent to jail for offenses related to fraud and organized crime.
High Court Tulsipur, Butwal Bench of Judge Ramesh Dhakal and Sankapara Parajuli's Bench of Lamichhane District Court Rupandehi's order to release him on bail has been cancelled. Along with this, the High Court upheld the order of the District Court to send the then owner of Gorkha Media Network Chabilal Joshi to jail, informed Harigopal Gyawali, Sub-Registrar of the High Court Tulsipur, Butwal Bench.
Rupandehi district court released Ravi on a bail of 10 million in the case of the embezzlement of more than 550 million rupees of the cooperative with the involvement of 42 people including Ravi, Chibi and Gitendrababu (GB) Rai in Supreme Cooperative and Ravi, Chibi and GB separately embezzled 100 million 99936 thousand. In the same case, Chabilal Joshi was sent to prison for preliminary investigation.
After Ravi was granted bail and Chibi was imprisoned in a case of a similar nature, the public prosecutor's office approached the High Court appealing that Ravi should also be kept in custody. Similarly, Image has filed a petition in the higher court saying that he should be released on bail. In the same case, Ravi also registered number 73 saying that he should be able to fight the case on the normal date for taking bail. After 73 cases of the same nature were registered separately, the High Court of Butwa ordered to look at them simultaneously.
According to the order of the High Court, the demand of Image to fight the case without being detained, the demand of the public prosecutor to keep Ravi in jail without being released on bail, and the request that Ravi be kept in ordinary custody without bail, all the three cases were combined and kept in one hearing on Thursday . After the debate in the same hearing was over, the case was kept under consideration. The debate started on Friday from the situation of Thursday.
Deputy Attorney General Prakash Marasini said that the basis for sending Supreme Cooperative Chairman Om Prakash Gurung and Gorkha Media Network Vice President Chabilal Joshi to jail and the basis for releasing Gorkha Media Network Managing Director Ravi Lamichhane on bail, said that although Lamichhane's Aadhaar burden was heavy, the order to release him on bail was different. Marasini demanded that the source of Ravi's 1 crore deposit should also be found. He argued that Ravi should also be kept in custody as the defendant can influence both the case and the evidence.
Similarly, senior advocates Shambhu Thapa and Apoorva Khatiwada argued on behalf of the defendant Chabilal Joshi. In the debate, both of them insisted that although Joshi was the vice president of Gorkha Media Network, he did not embezzle the money by signing any check and should be left as a simple date as he was not directly connected.
