The Supreme Court (SC) of Nepal has directed authorities to clarify within 24 hours the detention of businessman Shekhar Golchha. The order was issued on Tuesday by a single bench of Justice Nripa Dhwoj Niroula following a habeas corpus petition filed by his wife, Seema Golchha. The petition claims that the detention is unlawful and calls for his immediate release. The court has instructed the Office of the Attorney General to present the detainee along with all relevant investigation documents. The move comes amid a high-profile inquiry, with the court demanding clear legal justification for the continued custody.
