AG gives nod to investigate into Nawaraj Silwal's case
Silwal has been elected to the House of Representatives from Lalitpur-1 representing UML. A file has been lodged at the Metropolitan Police Range Office, Kathmandu seeking due action against Silwal on Wednesday.
Hearing the case on last Thursday, SC had ordered the government to initiate action against Silwal concluding that the performance appraisal documents he submitted to the apex court seeking promotion were falsified.
An extended full bench comprising Chief Justice Gopal Parajuli, Justices Om Prakash Mishra, Kedar Prasad Chalise, Sharada Prasad Ghimire, Mira Khadka, Prakash Man Singh and Purusottam Bhandari has clearly stated that those found guilty in submitting fake performance appraisal certificates seeking promotion should be brought to book.
