The proceedings, which commenced on Tuesday, are continuing into Wednesday.
Senior advocates Ram Narayan Bidari, Raman Shrestha, Shambu Thapa, Murari Sapkota, and Krishna Sapkota presented Lamichhane’s defense.
They have also contested the verdict of the Kathmandu District Court, which convicted Lamichhane in the rape case.

The hearing is expected to conclude today, with the verdict anticipated later this afternoon.
