Himal Sharma to Remain in Judicial Custody till Final Verdict
Kathmandu Feb 6- The Patan Appellate Court ruled for judicial custody for Himal Sharma, former General Secretary of ANNISU-Revolutionary, on Monday until the Court gave its final verdict on the multiple cases filed against him. The government formally charged Sharma with some half-a-dozen cases, including the murder of Colonel Kiran Basnet, on Sunday but the cases were filed only today due to paucity of time yesterday.
A joint bench of justices Nanda Raj Adhikari and Ali Akbar Nikarani gave the order on the cases that were filed against 11 Maoist leaders, including Maoist Supremo Prachanda and Babu Ram Bhattarai.
The charge sheet against Sharma was produced at the Court on Sunday only after 50 days in detention under the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities Control and Punishment Ordinance-2005.
