Supreme Court of Nepal has reversed the President’s decision to grant amnesty to Yograj Dhakal alias Regal on Thursday.
Hearing on a writ petition filed against the government's decision to parole Dhakal, a murder convict, that continued on Tuesday and Wednesday, a division bench of justices Ishwor Prasad Khatiwada, Sapana Pradhan Malla, and Kumar Chudal reversed the verdict today.
On the occasion of the Constitution Day, the Cabinet had recommended the President to parole Regal, who was serving jail term over a murder case. With the government's decision, he was released from jail.
Bharati Sherpa, the wife of Chetan Manandhar, had filed a writ petition against the government's decision to condone Regal, who had murdered Manandhar.
Earlier, on October 5, a single bench of Justice Manoj Kumar Sharma, had ordered the government to present all the original documents showing the reason why Regal was paroled.
