Suspended NRB Governor files petition against govt decision

KATHMANDU: Suspended Governor of Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB), Maha Prasad Adhikari, filed a writ petition at the Supreme Court (SC) on Sunday challenging the decision of the Council of Ministers to suspend him. Spokesperson at the SC, Bimal Poudel, confirmed that Adhikari’s writ petition was registered at the SC.
