A double bench of Chief Justice Cholendra Shamsher Rana and Justice Kumar Regmi directed the government to halt ongoing works at the construction site. Responding to a writ petition against the NIA construction today, the apex court directed the government to adhere to the directive that was issued on December 6.
The directive was issued on a writ petition filed by Dwarikanath Dhungel, former secretary of Nijgadh Forest Preservation Committee.
