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.
