Continuing its interim order, the Supreme Court has ordered to keep the action against Governor Maha Prasad Adhikari of Nepal Rastra Bank as it is.

A joint bench of Justices Sapna Pradhan Malla and Tanka Bahadur Moktan upheld the earlier interim order. Earlier, a bench of Justice Hari Phuyal had issued a short-term interim order directing Governor Adhikari to return to work.

Concluding the three-day-long hearing, the Supreme Court upheld the old interim order. The Supreme Court will now regularly hear the original case. Until then, today’s order has paved the way for Governor Adhikari to remain in office.
