Kathmandu. In a meeting held on Falgun 11, 2079 under the chairmanship of the Chancellor of the Academic Council of Nepal Nepal academy Bhupal Rai, it was decided to stop the double allowance received by the life members of Nepal Academy.

But on the 1st of Chait 2082, the said writ petition was rejected by the joint bench of Hon'ble Judge Manoj Kumar Sharma and Hon'ble Judge Nripadhwaj Niraula.
There are 11 life members who are receiving double facility allowance as follows.
1. Prof. Dr. Vasudev Tripathi,
2. Pvt. Dr. Chudamani Bandhu Regmi,
3. Ganga Prasad Upreti,
4. Pvt. Dr. Yogendra Prasad Yadav,

According to the decision of the court which was made 3 years after the decision of the council, Prajna Pratishthan does not have to provide allowance to those life members from now on to get double benefits.
