Kathmandu. The Supreme Court overturned the special court's order to send former federal affairs and general administration minister Rajkumar Gupta to prison in the Lichibari land corruption case of Pokhara and released him on bail. The joint bench of Supreme Court Judge Sharanga Subedi and Sunil Kumar Pokharel overruled the order of the special court and ordered to demand bail.
