Kathmandu, March 29: Habeas corpus petitions have been filed at Supreme Court against the arrest of CPN (UML) Chairperson and former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, and Nepali Congress leader and former Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak.
The petition concerning Oli was filed by Oli's spouse Radhika Shakya, claiming that his detention was unlawful, thus warranting his immediate release. SC has scheduled a hearing on the writ petition for tomorrow.
Likewise, a similar petition has been registered at SC against the arrest of former Home Minister Lekhak, arguing that he was apprehended illegally. Hearing on it is also slated for tomorrow.
