KATHMANDU: Two Maoist-victims today moved the Supreme Court demanding its order to empower police and prosecutors to continue their authority to punish criminals who had committed crimes during the decade-long Maoist conflict.
Fadindra Luitel, son of late Guru Prasad Luitel and Suman Adhikary, son of late Mukti Nath Adhikary, jointly filed a petition demanding apex court order to continue police prosecution.
Teachers Guru Prasad and Mukti Nath were murdered hineously after they refused to give the donation demanded by then CPN-Maoist cadres in 2005.
The petitioners claimed that it would be injustice to victims like them if the apex court weakens the existing mechanism by giving in to the demand of Maoist Constituent Assembly member Keshav Rai.
They said, if this happens they would lose hope of justice from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission because its formation was uncertain.
