Kathmandu: A full hearing over the writ petitions of Bharati Sherpa has started at the Supreme Court. Bharati filed writ petitions against her husband’s murderer Yograj Dhaka ‘Regal’, who was given amnesty by the government.

Full hearing writ petitions in the presence of Chief Justice Bishowambhar Prasad Shrestha, Judges Anand Mohan Bhattarai, and Kumar Regmi were started. Earlier, the Court had ordered the opposition to give a written reply within 7 days on 5th October (Ashoj 18).
