Kathmandu, Sept 19 - The Supreme Court Sunday scrapped a contempt of court case filed against Kantipur Publications Chairman Hem Raj Gyawali, former editor Yogesh Upadhyay, Speaker Tara Nath Ranabhat and CPN-UML General Secretary Madhav Kumar Nepal.
Advocate Rabi Raj Bhandari in connection with a discussion in parliament in 2000 had filed the case over the verdict of the Election Special Court.
The court's verdict on the issue of the election of constituency 1 of Nuwakot district was debated in parliament, and some UML members had criticized it. Kantipur daily had given news coverage on the same issue.
Bhandari in his application had argued that the discussion in parliament on the verdict and its publication by Kantipur daily was subject to a contempt of court.
A bench of Justices Min Bahadur Rayamajhi and Arjun Prasad Singh announced the scrapping of the application.
