SC to issue verdict on paroling Regal tomorrow

Kathmandu, Nov 1: The Supreme Court is issuing a verdict on the government's decision to parole Yograj Dhakal 'Regal'.     

A division bench of justices Ishwor Prasad Khatiwada, Sapana Pradhan Malla and Kumar Chudal is issuing a verdict on a writ petition filed against the government's decision to parole Dhakal, a murder convict.     

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, wife of Chetan Manandhar, had filed a writ petition against government 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. (RSS)
