March 7: A writ petition against the Prime Minister and CPN (Maoist Centre) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' was registered in the Supreme Court on Tuesday.
Fourteen persons, including Gyanendra Raj Aran of Ramechhap have filed the writ naming the Maoist Centre Chair Dahal as the defendant.
The writ has been filed over the remarks Dahal made a few years ago, saying that he would take responsibility for the deaths of 5,000 people killed during the armed conflict waged by then CPN-Maoist Party for ten years.
The Supreme Court has fixed Thursday (March 9) as the date of hearing in the writ petition.
