Contempt of court complaints filed against PM Oli

Kathmandu- Two contempt of court complaints have been filed against Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli.  Senior Advocate duo Kanchan Krishna Neupane and Kumar Sharma on Tuesday registered the contempt of court complaint against Prime Minister Oli at the Supreme Court separately citing that his recent statement denigrating Senior Advocate Krishna Prasad Bhandari amounts to disrespect to the court and judiciary. 

In their petitions, the petitioners have demanded action against the Prime Minister on contempt charges. 

Earlier last Friday, Prime Minister Oli had called Senior Advocate Bhandari ‘grandfather’ making ‘fuss’ in the court, referring to the hearing at the Constitutional Bench in the Supreme Court against his decision to dissolve the House of Representatives.
