The Supreme Court quashed an arrest warrant against Sher Bahadur Deuba and Arzu Rana Deuba, stating that legal procedures were bypassed in its request and granting. The warrant was issued by the Kathmandu District Court in connection with a money laundering investigation following vandalism at their residence. The Deuba couple had filed a writ petition claiming their fundamental rights were violated. The Supreme Court ruled that both the investigative body and the lower court had bypassed legal processes.
