Rana moves to SC challenging government's decision
The then minister of State for information and communication of the royal regime, Shrish Shumsher Rana, Thursday moved to the Supreme Court challenging the government's decision to recover Rs 3.6 million from him.
The government has decided to recover 3.6 million rupees from him, which was distributed from the state coffer on personal basis.
Rana moved the court after getting a letter from the Ministry of Information and Communication, in which the ministry has accused him of illegally distributing Rs 3.6 million to several people.
Rana claimed in the petition that the decision to recover the amount from him was illegal as the money was spent on government activities as per the decision of the council of ministers.
Rana has sought the apex court order to scrap the decision. Rana was charged for distributing money to journalists to write in favour of the royal regime. nepalnews.com pb Nov 24 06
