Nepal Telecom MD dismissal case: Supreme Court refuses to issue reinstatement order

Kathmandu, August 19

The Supreme Court has refused to issue an interim order to reinstate Nepal Telecom Managing Director Kamin Rajbhandari, who was recently relieved of her position by the government.

Rajbhandari, who moved court following her dismissal last week, claims that she was removed illegally and urged the court to reinstate her to the post.

A bench of Justice Cholendra Shamsher Rana, however, issued a show-cause, to the government asking it to clarify its stance on the case. Rajbhandri was dismissed from her post by a meeting of the Cabinet last week saying that her performance as the head of the country’s biggest telecom company was not satisfactory.
