In a pivotal legal development, the Supreme Court (SC) has directed the detention of suspended judge Bhuwan Giri about a case involving marital rape.
In a notable decision, a combined bench led by judges Hari Phuyal and Til Prasad Shrestha reversed the ruling of the High Court, ordering authorities to hold Giri in custody.
This verdict follows previous instances where the Kathmandu District Court and the Patan High Court had granted bail to Giri.
Law enforcement officials apprehended Giri following an accusation of rape made by his wife.
