Will Rabi Lamichhane Get Bail? Rupandehi Court to Decide

January 29, 2025
Rabi Lamichhane’s Legal Battle: Court Ruling Soon

The hearing on the Supreme Cooperative fraud case in Butwal has been completed at the Rupandehi District Court. Lawyers representing the government, complainants, and defendants presented their final arguments in the case involving Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) President Rabi Lamichhane and others. The session was conducted under the bench of Judge Pralhad Kumar Yogi, and the court is now prepared to issue its decision. Sources suggest that the verdict is expected today, which will determine whether the accused will be kept in custody during the investigation, released on bail, or granted release on a general date without bail conditions.

This case is part of a broader investigation into alleged financial misconduct in cooperative institutions. Many depositors have claimed they were deceived by cooperative officials, leading to significant financial losses. The court’s ruling will be crucial in setting a precedent for similar cases, as public trust in cooperative organizations has been severely affected. The outcome could also impact political figures involved in the case, given Lamichhane’s role as a prominent political leader.

Rabi Lamichhane has previously faced legal trouble in other cooperative fraud cases. In the Suryadarshan Cooperative case in Pokhara, the Kaski District Court released him on bail after he paid NPR 6.5 million. Similarly, in the Swarnalakshmi Cooperative case in Kalanki, Kathmandu, the Kathmandu District Court granted him bail upon payment of NPR 6 million. These previous cases add complexity to the ongoing legal proceedings, and the upcoming verdict in the Supreme Cooperative case is expected to draw significant public and political attention.
