KATHMANDU, JANUARY 26 The Supreme Court has ordered the collection of additional evidence in the organised crime and money laundering case against Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) President Rabi Lamichhane. A division bench of Justices Dr Manoj Kumar Sharma and Shrikant Paudel issued the order on Sunday. According to the order, the Attorney General argued that the charge sheet was amended after new evidence surfaced following the filing of the original charges. The Court directed the Office of the Attorney General to submit the additional documents and instructed that the case be presented for discussion on an interim order in accordance with legal procedures once the documents are received. Earlier, on January 20, a single bench of Justice Abdur Aziz Musalman had ordered the Office of the Attorney General to provide the original decision related to amending the organised crime and money laundering charges against Lamichhane. Lamichhane had been facing charges of cooperative fraud along with allegations of organised crime and money laundering. On January 14, the Office of the Attorney General amended the charges and later withdrew the organised crime and money laundering cases against Lamichhane and other defendants in the cooperative fraud case. The decision drew criticism from the Nepal Bar Association, human rights organisations, and civil society groups.
