KATHMANDU, Jan 5: A total of forty-four individuals, including advocates Gyanendra Raj Aran and Kul Bahadur Limbu, filed a new petition in the Supreme Court (SC) against the Transitional Justice (TRC) Act on Sunday.
SC Spokesperson Achyut Kuinkel stated that the petition has been filed, but the court has yet to set a hearing date. The petition argues that the complaint is based on the old TRC law, and since the new law would lead to flawed investigations, it requests the annulment of the new Act.

Previously, advocates Gyan Basnet and Shyam Krishna Maskey filed a petition in the SC demanding the annulment of the TRC Act. They argued that the Investigation, Truth and Reconciliation Commission Act is victim-friendly, especially regarding the investigation of missing persons.
