Kathmandu, Nepal: The Special Court (SC) has on Wednesday demanded Rs 10 million in bail from the suspended lawmaker Lharkyal Lama.
A joint bench of judges SC Mohanraman Bhattarai, Bhupendra Prasad Rai and Prabha Basnet demanded the bail after first hearing on a corruption case filed by the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) against CPN (Maoist Center) lawmaker.
Lama was also appointed as the State Minister for Finance in the Jhalanath Khanal's cabinet as he was associated with the CPN-UML earlier. Likewise, he had also served as the chairman of Monastery Management Committee on January 3, 2002.
The CIAA had filed the case against Lama on May last May accusing him of amassing property worth Rs 92.4 million illegally by holding public posts on various occasions.
