KATHMANDU, APril 27: The hearing on the case filed by Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Governor Maha Prasad Adhkari against the government’s decision to suspend him could not be completed at the Supreme Court on Tuesday. As a result, the hearing on the case was postponed for Thursday (April 28). 

Though the divisional bench of SC Justices Sapana Pradhan Malla and Tanka Bahadur Moktan started the hearing on the case, it was postponed for Thursday due to time constraint. 

Governor Adhikari on April 17 filed a case at the SC demanding abrogation of the government’s decision to form a probe committee to investigate him without prior information and justification. After the formation of the committee, Governor Adhikari was automatically suspended from his position.

However, responding to Governor Adhikari’s petition, the SC issued an interim order, staying the government’s decision and paving the way for him to return to his office and carry out his regular duties.
