KATHMANDU: Supreme Court (SC) is hearing on the writ petition filed against former Prime Ministers Madhav Kumar Nepal and Dr Baburam Bhattarai for their alleged involvement in Baluwatar land scam today.

Senior Advocate Bal Krisha Neupane had filed the writ against Nepal and Bhattarai at the apex court alleging that the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) granted amnesty to them in spite of their role in transferring the Baluwatar land into the names of various individuals.

A joint bench of Chief Justice (CJ) Cholendra Shumsher Rana and Justice Nahakul Subedi are hearing on the writ today. This writ had been postponed for time and again on various pretexts.

The CIAA had filed cases against many individuals at the Special Court for their involvement in the Baluwatar land scam.

The anti-grant body has been under fire for its alleged role in granting amnesty to Nepal and Bhattarai despite their involvement in the government land case.
