SC orders release of former CIAA Chief Basnyat on bail

KATHMANDU, May 8: The Supreme Court (SC) on Friday ordered release of former Chief Commissioner of the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) Deep Basnyat on bail. A division bench of Justices Dr Aananda Mohan Bhattarai and Ishwor Prasad Khatiwata, on hearing the writ petition, ordered the release of Basnyat in Rs 500,000 on bail. Basnyat has been kept in judicial custody for his alleged involvement in the Lalita Niwas land scam since December last year after the order of the Special Court. Basnyat’s son-in-law Prajwal Adhikari had filed a petition in the SC last Friday asking that Basnyat be allowed to fight his case while on bail. In his petition, Adhikari had demanded that 69-year-old chronic patient Basnyat be released on the ground of his ailing health. Basnyat has been infected with COVID-19 and is undergoing treatment in a private healthcare facility in Kathmandu. The CIAA had filed a case against 110 individuals, including Basnyat, on 5 February 2020 for their involvement in transferring public land of the Lalita Niwas in the individual's name.

CIAA-filed cases fall sharply following SC verdict

The Supreme Court’s (SC) verdict that prevented the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) from conducting a sting operation to arrest bribe takers has resulted in a sharp drop of cases filed by the authority charging them with corruption. “We are now unable to arrest bribe takers. So, we are devising new ways to arrest them,” said Narayan Risal, spokesperson for CIAA. Although the CIAA had been arresting those taking kickbacks through the sting operation according to its rule 30, the authority is planning a new strategy to bring such wrongdoers to justice and control corruption in the process after the verdict, Risal added.
