A preliminary hearing will be held in the Supreme Court today on the writ petition filed by suspended Governor Maha Prasad Adhikari seeking reversal of the action taken against him.

Claiming that he was suspended due to biased retaliation, suspended Governor Maha Prasad Adhikari has demanded an order to be issued to lift the suspension on him.

He has also questioned the impartiality of those in the committee formed to investigate him. The suspended governor has challenged to confirm the allegations, saying that government could not provide evidence even though he was accused of not cooperating with the government’s policies and programs.

In his writ petition, he said that Finance Minister Sharma had tried to interfere in some files related to money laundering. That is why he has been suspended.
