The Attorney General's Office has postponed the petition filed against the decision to amend the charge sheet of National Independent Party President Ravi Lamichhane.
The Supreme Court has stated that the postponement was made because the Attorney General's Office filed a petition stating that preparations for the debate were not complete. On Thursday, the bench of Justices Nripadhwaj Niraula, Nityanand Pandey and Shrikant Poudel had scheduled the first presentation .
The then Attorney General Savita Baral had granted permission to amend the charge sheet of 50 defendants including Lamichhane for money laundering and organized crime.
Dinesh Tripathi, Yubaraj Safal and Abhas Regmi had filed a writ petition against the order. The single bench had issued a show cause order in the said writ petition, while the joint bench had sent it to the full bench, saying that there was a serious issue of constitutional interpretation.
The writ petition seeks to quash the decision of the Attorney General's Office, calling it 'prima facie illegal, malicious and arbitrary'.
Attorney General Baral had decided on 10 December 2005 to amend the charge sheet against Lamichhane in the cases filed against him in the Kaski, Kathmandu, Rupandehi and Parsa district courts, so that the claims of 'organized crime' and 'money laundering' no longer stand.
