The hearing of the case registered in the Supreme Court has been scheduled for Monday. The hearing has been scheduled in the bench of Justices Manoj Kumar Sharma and Sunil Kumar Pokharel.
President Ram Chandra Poudel had pardoned Chaudhary on 15 Jestha 2080 on the occasion of Republic Day without serving the remaining sentence. Against that, Sharada Bohara Kadayat, wife of Police Inspector Keshav Bohara, who was killed in the Tikapur incident, had filed a writ petition.
After President Ram Chandra Poudel granted amnesty to Chaudhary and released him from prison on the recommendation of the Pushpa Kamal Dahal-led government, he filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court upheld the life imprisonment verdict passed by the Kailali District, Dipayal High Court against Resham as the main planner of the Tikapur incident on 2 Jestha 2080.
Immediately after that, on the occasion of Republic Day, on 15 Jestha, President Poudel granted him amnesty on the recommendation of the government, and Chaudhary was released from jail on the same day. Although he was sentenced to 14 more years in prison according to the Supreme Court's decision, he was released after the amnesty.
When the new constitution was about to be promulgated in 2072 BS, the movement demanding Tharuhat Province turned violent, resulting in the deaths of 7 security personnel, including a child, in Tikapur on 2072 Bhadra 7.
