SC issues show-cause notice against Health Minister Dhakal
Kathmandu. The Supreme Court (SC) has issued a show-cause notice against Health Minister Bhanubhakta Dhakal today in the contempt of court case. The Apex court, in its earlier verdict, had urged the government to provide free COVID-19 test and treatment to all in government hospitals, but the government had gone against the SC verdict and decided to provide free treatment to a specific category of corona infected people only.
After the government implemented its decision on November 18, advocates Lokendra Oli and Keshar Jung KC registered the case of contempt of court against Minister Dhakal accusing him of violating the Apex Court’s order.
On its hearing on the case, the Supreme Court asked Health Minister Bhanubhakta Dhakal as to why he should not be punished for violating its order and ordered to provide the answer within a week.
Earlier, the Supreme Court had dismissed the government’s appeal to review the order regarding free test and treatment of COVID-19.
