Prime Minister Balendra Shah will not have to appear in person in the Supreme Court in the contempt of court case. The bench of Supreme Court Justices Hari Prasad Phuyal and Shantisingh Thapa has granted him permission to file a will. With this order, Prime Minister Shah will be able to fight the case through will.
Shah had filed an application for will permission on 3 Baisakh 083 after becoming Prime Minister. Advocate Barsha Kumari Jha had filed a contempt petition against him on 8 Asad 2080. He had reached the court on 12 Chaitra after taking the oath of office as an MP at Singha Dabar. After taking the oath, he reached the Supreme Court in the same attire.
He had gone to take a date as he had been ordered to appear in person in the contempt of court case filed against him as the mayor of Kathmandu Metropolitan City. The next hearing of the case has been scheduled for 14 Jestha. He had filed an application for will permission before that.
3 years ago, a contempt of court case was filed against Walendra Shah for his angry remarks after the Patan High Court issued an interim order against the metropolis to cinema hall operators not to stop showing Hindi films. Advocate Jha had filed the contempt case, alleging that she had insulted the court and government by linking them to her neighboring and friendly country India through social media.
