KATHMANDU: Former national cricket team captain Sandeep Lamichhane’s appeal against the district court’s decision is scheduled for a hearing in the High Court Patan today.

Earlier, on April 28, the case before the bench of Patan High Court Judges Dhir Bahadur Chand and Chandramani Gyawali was not scheduled for a hearing.

Similarly, on April 22, the bench of Justices Sudarshan Dev Bhatta and Purushottam Prasad Dhakal did not proceed with Sandeep’s case.

On April 15, the bench of Justices Munendra Prasad Awasthi and Durga Prasad Dhungel ordered the withdrawal of the application filed by Ward No. 2 Gaushala 26 of Tadi Rural Municipality to correct the date of birth in the birth register.

Additionally, they instructed to provide a clear document related to the date of birth. Despite receiving the document, the proceedings have been postponed repeatedly.

Lamichhane, convicted by the Kathmandu District Court in a rape case, has appealed to the High Court.

On February 22, Lamichhane filed an appeal against the Nepal government in the High Court of Patan.

The district court sentenced Lamichhane to eight years in prison after convicting him of coercion.
