Nepal SC orders removal of RSP candidate from financial blacklist

KATHMANDU: (Mar 13) Nepal's Supreme Court on Thursday issued an order to remove from a financial blacklist a Rastriya Swatantra Party candidate from a Madhesh province constituency.

Kishori Sah's candidature in the March 5 polls from the Dhanusha 1 constituency was cancelled by the Election Commission two days before the elections as his name was included on the blacklist.

Sah filed a writ petition against the decision, to which the court issued an interim order removing him from the blacklist, according to Arjun Prasad Koirala, spokesperson of the top court.
