The Supreme Court has issued an interim order preventing the arrest of former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and his wife Arzu Rana Deuba. The court ruled that the arrest warrant issued by the Kathmandu District Court was invalid because jurisdiction for such cases now lies with the Special Court, especially after an ordinance on May 1. The Deuba couple is currently abroad.

  • The Supreme Court's interim order bars authorities from arresting the Deuba couple based on the arrest warrant issued by the Kathmandu District Court.
  • The court stated that the permission granted by the Kathmandu District Court to issue an arrest warrant became invalid because the Special Court has jurisdiction over cases investigated by the Department of Money Laundering Investigation.
  • The Deuba couple has not returned home since leaving for Singapore following the formation of the new government.
  • Interpol had previously declined a request to arrest the couple, citing insufficient grounds.
  • The writ petition filed on behalf of Deuba argued that the arrest process was illegal and against constitutional rights.
