Kathmandu, November 8
The Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) has filed 124 appeals at the Supreme Court requesting it to revise Special Court verdicts in four months.
It is interesting that the anti-corruption constitutional body has only filed 40 original lawsuits at the Special Court in this period.
Since the beginning of the fiscal year (July 17, 2022), the commission filed 124 appeals at the apex court, expressing dissatisfaction over the Special Court decisions.
In a press conference in Kathmandu on Tuesday, the CIAA spokesperson Shyam Prasad Bhandari says the constitutional body has been filing appeals for revision as some of the Special Court verdicts contradicted precedents and legal values.
Of late, the rate of the commission winning corruption cases is lowering as it hit a record low at 38 per cent last fiscal year.
