Kathmandu, May 5: The Supreme Court conducted a hearing on the case of sidhakura.com on Sunday as well.
The hearing was not completed because the recording of statement from Raj Kumar Timilsina, the person who provided audio clip to the media, was not over on Sunday.
A division bench of justices Hari Prasad Phuyal and Mahesh Sharma Paudel conducted the hearing, which will be continued on Monday as well.
The court has already recorded the statements from executive editor of sidhakura.com online, Nabin Dhungana, and publisher Yubraj Kandel.
A week back, the online media had run a story with an audio on a ‘sting operation’ launched by the Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority where it mentioned the ‘Supreme Court justices held a meeting to influence a case’.
Following the news, deputy registrar at SC, Govinda Ghimire, had submitted a report on contempt of court against the media. In response to the contempt of court case on April 29, the division bench of justices Nahakul Subedi and Tek Prasad Dhungana ordered the media to take down the news story within 24 hours.
