A writ petition has been registered today at the Supreme Court against the decision of the Attorney General not to pursue the case related to misuse of the passport by Rastriya Swatantra Party President Rabi Lamichhane.

Advocate Yubaraj Poudel filed the writ petition against Lamichhane today, stating that he was exempted from punishment for misusing the passport, and has demanded that the decision be overturned by the order.

Hearing on the case is scheduled for Tuesday.

Attorney General Dr Dinmani Pokharel had decided not to file a case against Lamichhane for misuse of passport based on the report from the High Public Prosecutor's Office through the District Public Prosecutor's Office.
