Lamichhane appears before court for detention hearing
Advocates Raman Shrestha, Pashupati Bhandari, Narayan Dutt Kandel, Suraj Basnet, Sunita Raut, Rajendra Sedhai and other legal practitioners are scheduled to argue on behalf of Lamichhane. Last Friday, two lawyers argued on behalf of the cooperative victims and three on behalf of Lamichhane.
After the government lawyers conclude their arguments, the judge will decide on the detention hearing. As the hearing on the case is not complete with some lawyers yet to present their arguments on Friday, Lamichhane was handed over to his family on the condition that he must appear before the court again on Sunday.
