An investigation has started against Judges Khushi Prasad Tharu and Arjun Maharjan, who overturned the verdict of life imprisonment given by the Rautahat District Court to former Minister Mohammad Aftab Alam and others for the crime of throwing the injured alive into the brick kiln to erase the evidence of the bomb blast.
According to council sources, judges have been banned from sitting on the bench from Thursday and they have been called to appear in the Supreme Court. An inquiry committee has also been formed under the chairmanship of Supreme Court Justice Vinod Sharma to investigate the judges.
District Court Rautahat last year sentenced Alam and three others to life imprisonment for the crime of throwing Trilok Pratap Singh Rajput and OC Akhtar, who were injured in a bomb blast on 27th Chait 2064, and OC Akhtar into a brick kiln in Rajapur. In the hearing of the appeal against it, on June 14th, the two-judge bench overturned the decision of the district court. On the day of the verdict, Alam, who was in Nakhkhu jail, was released.
The council called a meeting on Wednesday evening to take a decision this time after the demand for an investigation was raised saying that all the evidence was on one side and the decision of the superior was on the other. Although it was decided to conduct an investigation in the meeting on Wednesday, the source said that the committee was formed on Thursday.
Narayan Singh Rajput, the 84-year-old father of Pintu who was killed, reached the judicial council on Monday and filed a complaint asking for an investigation on the two judges who went beyond the evidence and acquitted him shortly after the hearing. Similarly, two days after the verdict, advocate Yuvraj Safal also filed a complaint against the judges in the council. Even though there was a
complaint and there was criticism in the judicial circle, the council did not even have a formal discussion about it at the beginning . However, after the concerns about the council's silence increased and even the judges of the Supreme Court raised questions about it in informal discussions, the council finally decided to investigate the Alam scandal.
