Hearing on NRB Governor Case Deferred for Thursday

April 27: Hearing on the case filed by Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Maha Prasad Adhikari at the Supreme Court against the government could not be completed on Tuesday.

Although a division bench of SC Justices Sapana Pradhan Malla and Tanka Bahadur Moktan started hearing on the case, it was postponed for Thursday due to time constraint.

The apex court had called both sides for the hearing after a single bench of Justice Hari Prasad Phuyal last Tuesday issued an interim order to the government not to implement its decision to suspend the governor until the final verdict.   

Governor Adhikari was suspended from his post automatically after the government formed a probe committee to investigate against the governor on April 7.
Following the government’s decision, Governor Adhikari had filed a case at the SC on April 17 demanding the court to scrap such decision. He returned back to office after the apex court  issued the interim order to stay the government’s decision.
