Taking up a writ petition filed by the people from New Baneshwar affected by the ongoing road expansion of the Kathmandu-Bhaktapur section of the Arniko Highway, Justice Girish Chandra Lal passed the stay order. The people moved the court, accusing the government of expanding the road exceeding 25 yards from the highway.
The court also ordered the lawyers of the defendants to be present before it on December 7 to take part in a discussion on whether the works on widening of the road should continue or not.
