Kathmandu — The government is preparing to approach the Supreme Court against the Patan High Court’s decision to release medical entrepreneur Durga Prasai on bail.

The Office of the Attorney General has instructed the Office of the Chief Public Prosecutor in Patan to study the court order and submit a report with legal opinion.

According to Uddhav Pudasaini, spokesperson for the Attorney General’s Office, the two separate bail orders related to Prasai’s cases are found to be inconsistent with legal principles and existing law.

“Both orders violate fundamental legal doctrines and undermine the rule of law,” said Pudasaini. “Therefore, we are filing a petition in the Supreme Court demanding the annulment of these orders.”

In this context, the Patan office has been directed to conduct a detailed review of the related files and orders to prepare a formal legal recommendation.

The Patan High Court had issued an order to release Durga Prasai on bail. The government has now decided to seek judicial review of that decision.
