Supreme Court seeks Attorney General Kandel’s UK travel record

KATHMANDU:- The Supreme Court has ordered to provide certified copy of records of Attorney General Dr Narayan Datta Kandel’s travel history to and from the UK.

A division bench of justices—Binod Sharma and Sunil Kumar Pokharel, on Tuesday issued such order in response to the writ petition filed demanding cancellation of the appointment of Kandel to the post of Attorney General. 

The SC sought certified copies of the travel records of Dr Kandel from Nepal to the UK between 2015-2024 from the Department of Immigration. 

Advocates–Shiraj Baral, Madhav Kumar Basnet and Dipak Raj Joshi had filed separate writ petitions demanding   an order from the apex court to annul Kandel’s appointment.
