Solukhumbu, September 29
Solukhumbu District Court has ordered the release four people serving sentence for cow slaughter.
Judge Narayan Prasad Subedi ordered that Dawakaji Shrestha of then Chaurikharka VDC-8, Kulung Rai and Raja Prasad Rai of then Bung VDC and Hemant Rai of Nechasalyan Rural Municipality-2 of Solukhumbu district after the trio filed an application.
They were serving a 12-year sentence but were released in response to a writ filed demanding the commuting of the sentence based on the new civil code, which reduces the quantum of punishment to three years, according to court clerk Bhagiswar Saraili.
They were arrested and jailed three years ago after being found guilty of stealing and slaughtering a cow.
