Lamichhane, who was previously released on bail by the Kaski District Court, appeared in court on Sunday to record his statement in a separate case filed against him in Kathmandu. The case is being heard by the bench of Judge Madhav Prasad Adhikari.
Public prosecutors have argued for his continued detention, citing concerns that evidence could be destroyed.
