Supreme Court has started hearing the writ petition filed by cricketer Sandeep Lamichhane.
Justice Ishwor Prasad Khatiwada is hearing the writ petition filed by cricketer Sandeep Lamichhane, seeking permission to go to UAE to participate cricket tournament.
Lamichhane filed the writ on Thursday challenging the High Court Patan’s decision to bar him from going abroad.
If the Supreme Court's verdict comes in favor of Lamichhane on Friday, he can join the Nepali cricket team to the UAE.
Meanwhile, Nepal Cricket Association (CAN) has announced the team of players excluding Lamichhane to go to UAE for cricket tournament.

High Court Patan on January 12 had put a ban on Lamichhane from going abroad while releasing him on a 2 million bail.
According to the decision, Lamichhane has to take permission even while going out of the Kathmandu Valley.
With an excellent comeback with wins in all four matches thanks to 13 wickets by Lamichhane in the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2, the CAN has initiated the process forward to take him to UAE.
