The hearing of the case of Rastriya Swatantra Party President Ravi Lamichhane and former DIG and then Gorkha Media owner Chhabilal Joshi has been postponed today as well. Last Thursday's hearing was also postponed at the request of Lamichhane's own legal practitioner.

The case was heard in Bench No. 3 of Judge Milan Kumar Rai and Sanumaya Dangol on Thursday. Earlier, it was adjourned after being heard in Bench No. 3 of Rai-Dangol on Thursday.

The court's information officer Ram Bahadur Kunwar said that the hearing was adjourned after Rabi's legal practitioner filed a petition to postpone today's hearing.

The hearing on Thursday of the case of Rastriya Swatantra Party President Rabi Lamichhane and Chhabilal Joshi, who are in custody on charges of fraud and organized crime at the Supreme Cooperative Society of Butwal, is the fifth consecutive hearing since Kartik 13.

Lamichhane, who is in custody for trial in the Supreme Cooperative Fraud case in Butwal, had paid his share of the embezzlement in the cooperative, but the bench of District Court Rupandehi Judge Narayan Sapkota refused to release him on August 10. In the case of Lamichhane, who had gone to the High Court against that, the Supreme Court had earlier ordered the original charge sheet to be sought in the hearing held on October 10.

Last Thursday, the bench of Justice Basudev Acharya and Om Prasad Aryal of the Tulsipur-Butwal bench of the High Court had ordered the original charge sheet to be sought. Earlier, on October 10, the bench of Justices Acharya and Aryal had ordered the original charge sheet to be sought. Although the file of the original file was not received from the Supreme Court, the hearing was scheduled for Thursday after a copy was received from the District Court. The court has given priority to the hearing of Lamichhane's case.

Earlier, the hearing was also scheduled for Kartik 13. However, the hearing was postponed after Chhabilal Joshi's legal practitioner filed a petition. Earlier, a bench of Justices Milan Kumar Rai and Om Prasad Aryal had ordered that both cases including Chhabilal be kept together in Lamichhane's case as they were of the same nature.

When Lamichhane demanded to pay the amount as per the amount and fight the case outside the jail, the High Court had ordered that Chhabilal Joshi's file be submitted along with Ravi. Earlier, the Butwal High Court had ordered to seek a plea report in Lamichhane's case.

Even though the Tulsipur-Butwal bench of the High Court was arson and vandalized during the Gen-G protest, the case files of both Lamichhane and Joshi remained intact. Lamichhane, who is in custody for trial in the Supreme Cooperative Fraud case in Butwal, had filed a petition in the High Court on Bhadra 9 after the Rupandehi District Court did not release him even after he deposited his share of the amount he had misappropriated in the cooperative. Earlier, he had filed a petition in the District Court demanding his release from the cooperative fraud case by depositing his share. The bench of District Court Judge Narayan Sapkota had rejected his release after hearing his petition on Sharan 26.

A charge sheet has been filed against the defendants including Ravi in ​​the Supreme Cooperative Fraud case in Butwal by setting a collective amount of Rs 109.936 million. However, Lamichhane had submitted documents stating that he had deposited one part of his share out of the four parts. Lamichhane had submitted a bank guarantee of Rs 27.484 million with the application.
