Wrong Move

Wrong Move

It seems that the decision of Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) for detaining Sajha Yatayat Chairperson Kanak Mani Dixit on the charge of amassing property of Sajha Yatayat was not in accordance with the established rules and regulation of Nepal. Also the Special Court’s earlier order to detain Dixit for further investigation seems to be flawed. Otherwise, why should he be asked by the Supreme Court (SC) to immediately release him from the detention? If he was involved in any wrongdoings based on the black and white proof of CIAA, then the decision of the Special Court to detain him should not be over-ruled by the Supreme Court.

It is not the first such case of contradicting decisions of the Supreme Court and the Special Court. There were other corruption cases also in the past which were reversed by the Supreme Court. It is difficult to understand by the common people as to why a court gives permission to CIAA for putting the people behind bars for further investigation and the other court asks it to immediately release him. Is it the CIAA who, without having sufficient proofs, detains the person accusing him of corruption? Or, is it the judge or the lawyers who interpret the same clause of the law in their own ways? Otherwise, what could be the reasons for making different decisions by different courts for the same case?

The recent detention of Kanak Manik Dixit also raises the concerns and competencies of the CIAA. As claimed by him, was it really the CIAA Chief’s acts of revenge? Was the CIAA in a hurry to defame Dixit for nothing? Was he not involved in corruptions as claimed by the CIAA? If so, he should cooperate with the CIAA to investigate into details of his wealth and property in the days to come to prove his innocent. Simply blaming the CIAA would not help him clean his once tainted image.

2083/84 budget at a glance The Balen led government , which is almost two-thirds majority government secured in the March 2026 elections , has announced its annual budget 2,124.34 billion on May 29, 2026, as the largest budget in Nepal's history, representing a 25.2 present increase over the revised estimates of the current fiscal year 2082/83.  Most of the financial experts and economic analysts opine that this budget, although optimistic, has broadly, boldly and wisely covered key and major aspects of the national all round development.
