"The bench hereby orders those made defendants in the writ petition to furnish written clarifications," reads the order. Prime Minister, Deputy Prime minister Koirala, home minister, police chief and Chaudhary have been made defendants in the writ petition.
The petition filed by Daindra Bahadur Thakuri has sought to move the SC for initiating legal actions against Chaudhary claiming that the latter was involved in various scams in Nepal for the last five years but was protected politically.
The petition also alleges that Chaudhary has the protection of his mother-in-law and Deputy Prime Minister Koirala.
According to the petitioner, Rubel has long been involved in international call bypass and other various scams.
