Supreme Court blocks immediate arrest of Mahesh Basnet



KATHMANDU: Mahesh Basnet will not be immediately arrested after the District Court rejected a request for his detention. The decision effectively delays any immediate action against him.

The arrest request was filed earlier by Shobha Pathak in relation to a pending case. A bench led by Justice Dhruva Karki ruled that no new arrest authorization can be issued for a case already under consideration, preventing Basnet’s immediate detention.
